Neville Goddard on Joshua 2:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 2 in context

Scripture Focus

22And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

Joshua 2:22

Biblical Context

Spies hide on the mountain for three days while pursuers search in vain. The passage shows a time of quiet protection before the outward pursuit ends.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua 2:22, in Neville's interpretation, is an internal drama. The spies are states of consciousness that slipped into a higher vantage point—the mountain—where the I AM stands unmoved by appearance. Concealment for three days is the disciplined pause in which you withdraw attention from the external scene and let your awareness rest in the truth that you are not the chased but the watcher. The pursuers are the old claims of fear, doubt, or need, who search the outward road for confirmation of lack. They wander "throughout all the way" but fail to find you because you have moved your center inward, into the stable consciousness that cannot be affected by the frenzy of appearances. The "return" of the pursuers marks not their failure to catch you but the realization that your reality never depended on their search. The salvation here is inward: the recognition that the present moment's imagination governs what unfolds; you dwell where nothing outside can pry away. Abiding on the mountain is abiding in the truth that you are the creative consciousness that makes all things.
