Inner Jerusalem Incomplete Conquest

Joshua 15:63 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 15 in context

Scripture Focus

63As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Joshua 15:63

Biblical Context

The verse shows that even after a decisive move to claim a city, some enemies remain and dwell with the people. It signals an incomplete conquest, with inner forces persisting within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner scripture, Jerusalem is the seat of your present awareness, the I AM you awaken to. The Jebusites are not foreign enemies but stubborn habits, fears, and memories that have learned to dwell inside your mental city. The fact that Judah could not drive them out is not a condemnation but a reflection of an inner state: some aspects of thought persist despite a strong will to claim the land. Your work is to carry the resolve of Joshua into every chamber of your mind, to remain faithful to the inner command that this city is yours now, and to revise any story that implies division. When you treat your life as conquered by assuming a final victory, you begin to unify the people by aligning feeling with belief. Do not judge the holdouts; simply assume a higher occupancy and persist in imagining the city fully under your I AM. The Presence of God is the living awareness that hails your claim, and it grows as you revise and feel it real, day by day, until the last echo of limitation crumbles.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare I AM the city of Jerusalem; feel the last holdout vanish. Allow your awareness to dwell in complete unity within its walls.
