Neville Goddard on Joel 3:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Joel 3:1-2

Biblical Context

God promises the restoration of Judah and Jerusalem, and He will gather the nations to plead for His people and the land. This is a call to reconfigure your own mind toward unity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the text as a manual for the inner life. Judah and Jerusalem denote your central, covenant-keeping I AM; exile among nations marks the dispersion of your faculties into fear, doubt, and old beliefs. The valley of Jehoshaphat is your inner courtroom, where the I AM stands as judge of what you have accepted as true. When the verse says God will plead for His people, it means you will awaken every scattered part and invite them into the one steady sun of awareness. The gathering of nations is the reorganization of your mind, bringing every desire, memory, and sensation into harmony with the land, your living consciousness, so that nothing is parted from the whole. This is not external politics; it is an inner revolution, a New Creation in which you behold the unity that already exists in your I AM. Begin from the end: assume the completed restoration now, revise every fear, and feel the unity as real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: I AM restored, all parts gathered and aligned. Then declare softly to your inner self, 'You are one land, one people, in one I AM,' and let that unity settle as real.
