Rahab's Inner Covenant
Joshua 2:12-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rahab asks the spies to spare her family and deliver them from death, promising loyalty in return. The agreement hinges on a visible token—the scarlet cord—and a solemn oath of mutual protection.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rahab’s plea is more than a historic treaty; it is an inner drama about the I AM delivering the entire house of consciousness from the fear of 'death'—the breaking of old conditions. In Neville’s language, Rahab represents the awakened state within you that recognizes you are one with the I AM and that mercy follows belief. She calls for kindness to her father’s house because in the inner kingdom, your entire life—habits, memories, and relationships—belongs to the same warm current of awareness. The scarlet cord she places in the window is the tangible token of a settled assumption: you, the inner you, have already accepted a state of safety and mercy, and the outer world must reflect it. The spies’ pledge, “our life for yours,” is your inner vow to protect this state against doubt. When the window is bound with the red line, you declare in images and feeling that this state is irrevocably yours. The three days of hiding symbolize the necessary interior period in which the old conditions recede. Once this covenant is established in imagination, the land you seek—health, success, peace—moves into expression through your own I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the state: you are already saved, and your household is protected by the I AM; feel that certainty as a vivid sensation. Visualize a scarlet thread binding the window of your inner house, a perpetual sign that this covenant is real.
