Neville Goddard on Joshua 11:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

2And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

3And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

Joshua 11:1-3

Biblical Context

Jabin, king of Hazor, hears news and sends to many kings, gathering them across the land—a broad coalition in the north, plains, valleys, and borders.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Joshua 11:1–3 speaks not of distant wars but of a wind of thought gathering in the mind. Jabin, king of Hazor, hears a signal of a new possibility and sends his many kings—the north, the plains, the valleys, the borders—each a fragment of consciousness resisting the new decree of your I AM. This inner drama shows that the moment you perceive a higher possibility, old habits mobilize to defend the status quo. In Neville's light, these kings are thoughts, fears, memories, identifications; they are not external foes but states of awareness that appear to resist your inner certainty. The invitation is to observe them without fear and to return your attention to the one sovereign feeling: I AM. When you 'hear those things,' revise them by assuming the governing state of consciousness you already are. Dwelling as the king of your land, you let the other nations bow to your inner conviction.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM as ruler of your mind, and revise by declaring, 'I reign here; these allied thoughts bow to my inner will.' Feel the expansive calm of the real I AM.
