Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 2:20-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 2 in context

Scripture Focus

20(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

21A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

22As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

23And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

Deuteronomy 2:20-23

Biblical Context

The passage names a land of giants—powerful, numerous, and tall—whom the LORD destroys before the people so they can possess the land. The giants' destruction marks the pattern of liberation and the move from old states to new ones.

Neville's Inner Vision

That land of giants is not a geography but a state of consciousness—giants of fear, doubt, habit, and inherited limitation standing in the way of your current unfoldment. The LORD’s removal of them mirrors the I AM within you dissolving stubborn conditions when faced with a new possibility. Notice how the text says the giants were there in old time, but the people disappear them and succeed them; this is your inner wind of revision: when you declare a new state of being, you supplant the old self with a higher one, and the old land yields. The Amalites, Esau, Horim, Avims, Caphtorims all represent patterns that had their time; now you move to the new, by remaining in the awareness that God is present as your I AM. Providence and guidance come not as external events but as your own inner decision; salvation is awakening to the truth that you are already free. As you align with this inner command, the sense of having been dispossessed gives way to a confident possession in the now.

Practice This Now

Identify a current inner obstacle and declare, I AM that I AM, I have removed the giant and am now dwelling in the land of peace. Feel it real as a vivid inner sensation.
