Inner Generations of Ruth
Ruth 4:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage lists the generations from Pharez to Salmon, showing a continuous line. In the inner reading, these generations symbolize successive states of awareness that sustain a future blessed by covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
Where you see names, imagine you are witnessing inner states: Pharez, Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon—each a quality of awareness moving you forward. The Bible record is no genealogy of distant persons; it is a map of your own consciousness unfolding in time. The phrase 'Now these are the generations' invites you to recognize that your present I AM births the next form of life. Providence is not a history out there but a broadcast of your inner claim—your insistence that you are, here and now, the source of a future that already exists as seed within you. As you affirm that you are the root of your line, the successive 'begats' become a practical fiction your imagination can revise. Each moment you hold a clear sense of who you are becoming, you align with the next state of materialization. The continuity implies that no state dies but transforms into the next, sustaining a covenant path—loyalty to your vision and its fruit. In this light, Ruth's line becomes your internal river of life, carrying you toward a hopeful future.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume, 'I am the I AM that births the next generation of my life.' Feel that line forming now and move from that assurance into actions aligned with covenant loyalty to your future.
