Inner Giants, Inner Kingdom
Deuteronomy 2:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Deuteronomy 2:20-21 speaks of a land once inhabited by giants, whom the LORD destroyed so the people could dwell there in their stead. It invites us to see the outer conquest as an inner transformation of our own consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text you are not reading about a historical war but about the inner drama of your own consciousness. The Zamzummims symbolize stubborn habits, fears, and identities that stand like mountains in the field of awareness. The land becomes the arena of your present I AM, the ever-present king of forms. When it says the LORD destroyed them before them, feel that the divine I AM dissolves these old identities as you shift attention; not by outward battle, but by a change of belief. The giants are not somewhere out there; they are the fixed states you have believed to be you—great, many, tall—and they yield when you stop feeding them with fear and doubt. As the old inhabitants pass, you inherit the stead, a new inner government, the Kingdom of God within. Providence and guidance appear as the continuous movements of that presence, steering you from bondage to liberty through a single decisive act of awareness. The present moment is the land; the I AM is the conqueror; you are the dweller of a new order.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume you are already in possession of the land of your true being; as you breathe, revise your self-image: the Zamzummims dissolve in the light of I AM, and you move into the steady dwelling of the Kingdom within.
