Joab blows a trumpet, and the people stop pursuing and fighting Israel.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard's register, the trumpet is the call of awareness within the I AM. The pursued 'Israel' represents a restless, conflict-ridden state of mind—thoughts of fear, outcome-chasing, and external battles. When the trumpet sounds, the outer chase dies away, not by force but by a shift of consciousness toward stillness. Obedience here is yielding to inner order and trusting that providence guides the next move. Wisdom and discernment arise in the pause, revealing which thoughts deserve attention and which are merely mirroring old conflicts. The inner kingdom is not found in perpetual action but in the quiet acceptance of divine timing; when you stop pushing, a more harmonious movement reveals itself. This is the living meaning: the trumpet marks a turn from struggle to trust, a moment where awareness chooses peace and allows the Larger Plan to unfold through you. In that stillness, the battles dissolve and the next step comes as a natural, guided expression of being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the next moment, hear the trumpet in your mind and silently declare: I AM at peace; I suspend the chase to allow Providence to lead. Breathe into the stillness and notice the next move unfolding from within.
