Neville Goddard on Genesis 15:18-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 15 in context

Scripture Focus

18In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

19The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

20And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

21And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Genesis 15:18-21

Biblical Context

Genesis 15:18-21 records God binding Abram in a covenant, promising his descendants a land from the Nile to the Euphrates and naming the peoples who dwell there. It presents both a territorial promise and a symbolic map of faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard fashion, see Genesis 15:18-21 as a map of inner reality. The land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates is not geography but the field of your consciousness, framed by your present I AM. Abram’s seed stands for your true self, the awareness that governs what you accept as real. The enumerated peoples—the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaims, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites—are the habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns that rule your inner nation. The covenant day is the moment you awaken to claim this land as yours by present awareness, not by time or struggle. Providence and guidance flow as you permit imagination to govern your life; you choose inhabitants by the states of your consciousness. The promise becomes present when you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and revise any memory of lack, letting the inner kingdom stand established in you here and now.
