Inner Spies and Rahab's Providence
Joshua 2:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rahab hid the two men on the roof and lied to the pursuers to protect them. This act reveals an inner strategy of concealing a greater purpose until the right moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rahab’s act is not mere deceit, but a parable of the unseen guard that keeps your higher state intact while the outer gate shuts. In Neville’s psychology, the spies are inner impulses seeking realization; the city Jericho and its gate stand for the outer world’s claims against your truth. Rahab, the one who aids them, represents a trusted state of consciousness that protects truth from premature exposure to the wind of doubt. By concealing them on the roof, and covering them with flax, she shows how your imaginative faculties layer experiences with meaning until the moment comes to move. The 'pursuit' are the thoughts that would rush you to act before you are ready; the mercy shown to the spies is the mercy you owe to your own inner leads, trusting Providence to guide you to safety and fulfillment. When you hold your truth within, you align with the I AM that awakens the land you will inhabit, and providence flows through you as you stay true to the inner vision.
Practice This Now
In the next moment, close your eyes and adopt Rahab's stance: imagine your deepest inner impulse is safely hidden on the roof of your mind, covered by flax-thoughts, and declare it protected from outer doubt until the time comes for it to move.
