Neville Goddard on Joel 2:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:1-2

Biblical Context

The verse proclaims a trumpet call in Zion, signaling a coming day of the LORD that brings awe, darkness, and a decisive shift. It invites inner preparation, turning attention toward a transformed consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joel 2:1-2 invites you to hear the trumpet within Zion, calling a new state of consciousness into being. The day of the LORD is not a distant catastrophe but a radical shift in awareness—the moment your attention trembles into a truly new possibility. The darkness and thick clouds describe the purification that attends revelation: as your inner mountain is stirred, the old self loosens its grip and a great, strong self emerges—not by force but by alignment with the I AM. In Neville's diction, God is not somewhere apart but the I AM awake as your own consciousness. This day comes nigh because you have decided to claim a different atmosphere for living, and the inner climate shifts from fear to awe. Practice: assume the trumpet has sounded and you are living from the day of the LORD within you; feel the light spreading over the mind, and declare inwardly, I am that day now. When you persist in that feeling-it-real, your outer world follows the inner revelation, quietly, powerfully.

Practice This Now

Assume the day is already within you and feel its light flooding your mind. Then act from that awareness as if you are the trumpet awakening the land.
