Neville Goddard on Daniel 11:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Daniel 11:7-8

Biblical Context

A branch from her roots rises to power and comes with an army. It defeats the fortress of the north and takes captives, their gods, and their treasures, continuing longer than the king of the north.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard's register, the branch is a state of consciousness emerging from your spiritual root, not a person. The fortress of the north symbolizes outward appearances born of fear and lack. When the branch comes with an army—the disciplined acts of attention, belief, and feeling it-real—the inner citadel yields, and what once seemed formidable is subdued by your inner direction. The captives and the gods you carry away are not external prisoners but cherished beliefs you relinquish, the false securities you no longer need. The vessels of silver and gold are your treasured concepts of wealth and success that once appeared vital but now stand as symbols you release to power your real life from within. This is why the line that it shall endure longer than the king of the north matters: once this inner state is awakened, it tends to outlive the old condition, establishing the Kingdom of God as a present fact within consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a branch rising from your spiritual root, stepping into your mind as a calm army and declaring, I stand in my estate and prevail. Feel the inner treasures—beliefs, wisdom, peace—being carried into your awareness as symbols of real power, not external goods.
