Neville Goddard on Joshua 18:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 18 in context

Scripture Focus

14And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.

Joshua 18:14

Biblical Context

The border is drawn westward around the land. Kirjathbaal, called Kirjathjearim, marks the western edge of Judah's inheritance.

Neville's Inner Vision

This border is not ink on stone but a declaration in consciousness. The edge at Kirjathbaal—the inner city you call Kirjathjearim—stands for a sanctified place where your covenant with the I AM is kept. To live there is to refuse the wandering of fear and doubt; it is to insist that the Kingdom of God is already established within, and Providence guides the goings-out from this boundary. When you dwell in the belief that the boundary exists now, your thoughts, feelings, and choices align with its line, and the outward life follows that inward geometry. This western quarter is the orientation of loyalty: your attention fixed on the divine, your life organized by the awareness of possession rather than lack. In this light, the border becomes a spiritual instrument by which you shape reality rather than react to it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and draw a line around your inner landscape, a boundary you affirm as already present. Place Kirjathbaal as your inner sanctuary and silently declare, I AM within this boundary, and let the feeling of possession settle in until your experience reflects it.
