Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 19:15-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 19 in context

Scripture Focus

15One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

16If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

17Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

18And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;

Deuteronomy 19:15-18

Biblical Context

The passage teaches that a matter is established by two or three witnesses, and if a false witness speaks, the case is examined by inner authorities to determine the truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take these verses as a map for the mind: the two or three witnesses are inner states that must concur that a state of being is true. The priests and judges symbolize your higher faculties—imagination, conscience, and disciplined attention—who diligently inquire and expose any false testimony born of fear or habit. When a false witness arises, you do not argue with it externally; you audit it inwardly and discard the lie, so the truth of your I AM stands clear. The law then becomes your inner practice: you assume the end and dwell in its reality until outer appearances must reflect your certainty. By aligning feeling with belief and refusing to entertain contrary testimony, you enact the state you desire as already real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the desired outcome as already real, letting two inner witnesses approve it. Feel the wish fulfilled as you dwell in that conviction for several minutes.
