Rahab's Inner Hiding Place
Joshua 2:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rahab hides the spies on the roof with flax stalks, and when the pursuers depart, the gate is shut.
Neville's Inner Vision
Rahab’s act is not a mere rescue of visitors; it is a parable of the inner protection the I AM provides in moments of transition. The roof symbolizes the higher vantage of awareness where you lay out your beliefs as flax stalks, deliberately arranged to slow down the pursuers of fear and doubt. When those pursuing you go toward the Jordan fords and the gate is shut, you experience the truth that the outer chase is a projection of inner states and that you can, by an act of inner sovereignty, close the gates in consciousness. The spies stand for hidden desires for freedom, for crossing from bondage to promise; their safety depends on your obedience to the inner guidance rather than the external circumstances. The scene teaches you that faith is not passive but a practice of aligning imagination with truth until you accept the crossing as already accomplished. In this light, protective hiding places become mental disciplines that permit a quiet, fearless crossing in consciousness, ensuring your experience will reflect the inward revelation.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the role of Rahab in your mind, placing your chosen truth on the roof of your awareness and allowing fear's pursuit to pass. Then, affirm 'I AM' and feel the gate of limitation close, knowing your inner sanctuary has secured the crossing.
