Neville Goddard on Daniel 11:5-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

5And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

6And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

7But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

8And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.

9So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

Daniel 11:5-9

Biblical Context

Verses 5–9 describe a strong south king and shifting alliances with the north, culminating in a branch from the south prevailing and returning home with wealth and extended rule.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the external conflict in Daniel is a mirror of inner states. The king of the south is a stubborn habitual thought of power; the king of the north is fear-conditioned habit striving to keep you in old patterns. The joining of years and the rising branch from the roots symbolize a new quality of consciousness arising through disciplined imagination, supported by an army of focus, faith, and consistency. When this imaginal force enters the fortress of limitation and prevails, you draw into your life the symbols of inner victory—liberated beliefs and redefined values—while old gods and treasures dissolve. The long duration of victory hints that the new state must be maintained by steady feeling and persistent assumption until it becomes your automatic reality. Your I AM is the sovereign; by tending to this inner shift, you reclaim your inner land and let the outer scene echo your inward decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly, close your eyes, and affirm 'I AM the dominion now,' then picture a branch rising from your inner roots, entering a fortress, and prevailing. Feel the victory as already accomplished.
