Neville Goddard on Joshua 2:18-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 2 in context

Scripture Focus

18Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

19And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

20And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

21And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

Joshua 2:18-21

Biblical Context

Rahab hides the spies and is told to bind a scarlet cord in her window; her family will be spared if they stay inside. The oath seals the covenant and binds the people to protection when they remain within the inner house.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the Jericho tale maps your inner life. The window is your focus; the scarlet cord is the vivid state you choose to anchor. The spies are your imaginal acts seeking a covenant with your true self. Rahab's house becomes the inner sanctuary where your awareness confirms the new state; the covenant is your firm, inner decision that this vision is now done. To leave the doors is to abandon the state and invite old conditions back; to stay is to treat the state as already present. The blood on the street signifies the causative results of living by your inner decree; the collective 'we' are the aspects of consciousness that support your vision. The scarlet line is not magic but the feeling of this state established in your mind, a signal that your imagination has anchored reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and see a scarlet cord tied in the window of your mind. Then affirm, 'I am the I AM; my household is already saved by this inner sign,' and feel the state as real right now.
