Like the one rooted in Genesis 1:11, numbers and patterns in the Bible often hold symbolic meaning beyond coincidence. One striking example is the recurrence of the verse number 3:14 in three pivotal passages that speak directly to the creative power of imagination and spiritual awakening.
These three verses—Genesis 3:14, Exodus 3:14, and John 3:14—form a symbolic trilogy outlining the fall, the awakening, and the resurrection of our inner creative power.
Genesis 3:14 — The Fall of Imagination into Dust
“Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.”
—Genesis 3:14
In this foundational verse, God speaks to the serpent, symbolising the imagination and creative power. Neville Goddard interprets this as the falling asleep of imagination, descending into the physical, limited realm—“dust” symbolising the material body and unconscious mind.
The serpent, once a symbol of dynamic, elevated creative power, is now grounded and bound to the senses and separation, soon to be personified by Cain. This “fall” represents how imagination becomes dormant, restricted by doubt, fear, and identification with the physical world.
Exodus 3:14 — The Awakening of Consciousness: “I AM”
“I AM WHO I AM.”
—Exodus 3:14
Here, God reveals the sacred Name to Moses—an eternal, self-existent “I AM.” This is the moment of awakening to the true nature of consciousness.
Where Genesis 3:14 showed imagination asleep in the dust, Exodus 3:14 marks the revelation of the inner creative power—the I AM within each person, the self-aware presence that transcends limitation.
This is the call to remember and assume your divine nature, the creative “I AM” that is the source of all manifestation.
John 3:14 — The Resurrection of Imagination
“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”
—John 3:14
Jesus’ statement links the earlier imagery of the serpent lifted by Moses to his own being “lifted up” on the cross (or more accurately the Tree of Life).
This is the symbolic raising of the fallen imagination from the dust of limitation to the heights of conscious belief and creative power.
The serpent, once bound to the earth, is lifted and healed—just as the imagination, through the crucifixion and resurrection, is resurrected as the divine creative principle within.
The Trilogy of Transformation: From Dust to Divine
Taken together, these three verses mark a spiritual journey:
-
Genesis 3:14: Imagination falls asleep, bound by material limitation and unconsciousness.
-
Exodus 3:14: The eternal “I AM” reveals itself, calling for awakening and inner assumption.
-
John 3:14: The resurrection—imagination lifted up in conscious faith and creative power.
This is the very heart of Neville Goddard’s teaching: your assumptions shape reality. When you raise your inner assumptions—your “I AM” state—above doubt and limitation, you bring about your own spiritual resurrection and manifestation.
Walking in the Light of 3:14
Jesus’ words in John continue the call:
“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32)
This “lifting up” is the process of raising your consciousness beyond the “dust” to walk consciously in your creative power. It is the conscious choice to embody the I AM and manifest your desires as your reality.
Conclusion: Embrace the 3:14 Pattern Within You
The triple occurrence of 3:14 is not random—it invites you to recognise the pattern of your own awakening. You are invited to:
-
Acknowledge where your imagination has fallen asleep in limitation.
-
Remember the eternal “I AM” that dwells within you.
-
Rise, lift your assumptions, and walk in the light of conscious creation.
Through this understanding, the Bible becomes a mirror for your inner transformation—showing the path from dust to divine.
