Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 3:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 3 in context

Scripture Focus

3So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

4And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

Deuteronomy 3:3-5

Biblical Context

Israel defeats Og and his kingdom, taking many fortified cities. The passage records a decisive deliverance from a powerful foe.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the scenes in Deuteronomy are not mere history but a drama of the mind. Og and his high walls symbolize stubborn habits and protective beliefs you have allowed to govern Argob within you. When God delivers into your hands, it is your I AM awakening to the truth that you have already conquered in consciousness. The cities you take are states of awareness: gates and bars are the stubborn judgments you no longer obey; unwalled towns are zones where fear has melted away because you have remembered who you are. The act of smiting is not violence but release—dying to the old identifications and sealing them with the realization that you are forever free. Your victory is not coming; it has always been your present state, awaiting your acceptance. As you align with the I AM, you walk through the imagined walls, and the region of Argob becomes the quiet inner landscape where God dwells. Practice believing this now, and the outer scene will reflect the inner unity you claim.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM victorious now.' Feel it real, revise any fear as a minor memory, and imagine yourself taking the 'cities' of your mind.
