MOSES - ELIJAH - JESUS

Neville Goddard

In Biblical language a man's name reveals his character. His name is an expression of this essential nature of the bearer. As I have said in the past, these characters are not persons; they are eternal states, spiritual states, through which the immortal soul passes to awaken as God. To understand tonight's subject let us go back just for a moment. As you know, I have told you the Bible is God's plan, something to be understood only through revelation. It is revealed, it is true, but seems the most impossible thing in the world, but will prove itself true in time.

The book of Genesis is the seed plot. As you remember it is the beginning: "In the beginning God" and the book ended on the note: "In a coffin in Egypt." The one in the coffin was called Joseph. Joseph is human imagination - it is of one tissue with divine imagination, but here it is human imagination, placed in a coffin. He extracted a promise from his brothers that they will not leave his body in Egypt; they will take it up to the land that was promised by God to his forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is the end of the book, the seed plot of the Bible. Then we start for the unfoldment of the seed that was planted in the book of Genesis.

The next book is Exodus. That is where Moses comes in for the first time in the Bible. Now, we are told that Pharaoh's daughter found Moses floating on the river and she named him Moses, because she drew him out of the water. I will not deny that - that is part of the name, Moses," to draw out, to rescue, to fetch". But it has another meaning. She was an Egyptian and the boy was raised in the courts of Pharaoh, and the word "Moses" is the root of the Egyptian word (verb) "to be born". That is what it means - to be born. Something is now to be born and he is buried in man in the book of Genesis. It is completely contained in this ark, in this coffin or man, but now it must be awakened, it must be born. We are told he did not volunteer for the task -he was drafted.

Now let me stop here and tell you: this is not a man as you are, as I am; this is a state of consciousness. All these characters are states of consciousness, and so Moses is playing the part now, leading you - leading me, everyone in the world - out of the state known as Egypt, taking us out of Egypt into the promised land. Moses is true in this sense: in him - in germinal form - is the entire future of Israel. All the visions you read concerning him are contained in us. He was prophet, priest, law giver, shadow of the king (or a foreshadowing of the king), victor, exile, fugitive, man of God - all of these are stated in the state called Moses. Now he is leading us out.
