Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 2:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 2 in context

Scripture Focus

13Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.

Deuteronomy 2:13-14

Biblical Context

Moses recounts crossing the brook Zered and leaving Kadeshbarnea behind. The 38 years track the old generation’s turning away from that crossing, until the Lord’s oath is fulfilled and a new path opens.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer map is your inner map. The brook Zered marks the threshold between an old self and a newborn sense of being. The forty years represent not mere chronology but the stubborn habit of fear that kept the heart from crossing into the promised consciousness. When you answer rise up and cross, you are not moving a caravan but shifting an attitude. The Lord's oath is a timeless inner law: your I AM cannot forget the truth of who you are, and therefore the old patterns must fade as you refuse to entertain them. The crossing occurs the moment you decide you are already where you seek to be; the wilderness dissolves as belief aligns with inner vision. Providence is your inward direction, not external fortune. Trust the conversion of time into spiritual momentum by imagining you have already crossed and living from the awareness that the land you seek is the awareness you already possess within.
