The Scarlet Cord Within
Joshua 2:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rahab lets the spies down by a cord from her window on the wall. The act symbolizes choosing faith over fear and aligning outer events with inner conviction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rahab’s window shows your perception; her cord is the line you cast from your inner state into outer form. The wall marks the boundary where fear and faith meet. When Rahab lets the spies down, she is not delivering them to hazard but delivering her own future by making a decision in imagination. The scarlet color is the sign of mercy you pledge to yourself—a symbol that your inner compassion governs outward events. Your present is shaped by what you believe about who you are and what you deserve; so the cord is the assumption you hold until it hardens into fact. By choosing faith over doubt, you enter a new alignment with the I AM that you call God. The escape is not external, but inward: you move from limitation to possibility by feeling the truth of your own worth and the mercy you extend. In Neville’s terms, salvation and redemption arise when you feel the reality of your I AM and let that awareness descend into your daily life through intentional imagination.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of I AM. Imagine a scarlet cord descending from your inner window into your outer life, lowering fear and lifting mercy—practice this until the sensation feels real.
