Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 24:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 24 in context

Scripture Focus

5And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:

6Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,

7And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.

2 Samuel 24:5-7

Biblical Context

David's army crosses the Jordan and travels through a sequence of places—from Aroer to Beersheba—marking a broad sweep of movement across the land. The passage presents a sweeping map of boundary-crossing and exploration.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the crossing is not a military maneuver but a symbolic shift of consciousness. The Jordan stands as the boundary of an old self, and crossing it is the decision to enter a larger state of awareness where God is not distant but within. The names of the places become inner stations in your imagination: Aroer, on the right side of the city that lies in the midst of the river of Gad, Jazer, Gilead, Tahtimhodshi, Danjaan, Zidon, Tyre, and the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites, Beersheba. Each station invites you to revise limiting beliefs and to claim new territories of your mind. As you journey, the movement of your awareness imprints a covenant presence, the I AM, guiding you toward Beersheba—the south, the seed of your deepest agreement with God. The outward map in the text becomes a map of your inner kingdom: the geography you traverse becomes the reality you choose by your state of consciousness. In this sense, the external world shifts to reflect the inner image you hold of yourself in God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, imagine stepping across a Jordan within, visiting Aroer, Jazer, Gilead, and Beersheba. Feel the I AM guiding you, and dwell there until your outer life aligns with the image you hold.
