Neville Goddard on Ruth 4:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

4And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

Ruth 4:3-4

Biblical Context

Boaz informs the kinsman that Elimelech's land is for sale and invites him to redeem it; the relative agrees to redeem.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Ruth 4:3-4 as a drama of inner consent. The land up for redemption stands not as soil but as a state of consciousness you have allowed to remain unconsecrated in awareness. The kinsman is your habit of lack; Boaz's invitation to redeem signifies your decision to awaken to your covenant with the I AM. When he says, I will redeem it, you hear the inner yes of your higher self agreeing with divine law. This is not about external property; it is about reclaiming your inheritance through an act of definite inner assumption. In Neville's psychology, the legalities symbolize the inner recognition that you are the one who can revise a situation by entering it in imagination and feeling it as already accomplished. Therefore, the moment you act as if the deed is done—assume the end, revise the sense of limitation—your outward circumstances follow suit. The 'land' moves from potential to possession as your consciousness aligns with covenant fidelity to your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and imagine the land or goal already yours, and declare, 'I redeem this now.' Feel the certainty in your chest and let it settle into your day.
