Inner Covenant Peace

Joshua 22:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 22 in context

Scripture Focus

32And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
Joshua 22:32-33

Biblical Context

Phinehas and the leaders return with word to Israel; the people bless God. They decide not to go to battle against the land where Reuben and Gad dwelt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within my inner scene, the land of Canaan stands for my entire field of consciousness, and Reuben and Gad represent voices of desire calm or unsettled. Phinehas the priest and the princes are the outward authorities of order in my mind, returning to report that reconciliation has occurred. The Israelite camp's response—blessing God and choosing peace rather than marching against the land—teaches that no outer conflict is necessary where a higher awareness has spoken and I have accepted its word. When I acknowledge this inner word as true, the seeming opposition between parts of myself dissolves; the ‘land’ is not an enemy to conquer but a portion of my one living soul to be welcomed and harmonized. The blessing is the sign that the inner state is already united; the outer events merely reflect that inner assurance. I am learning to trust that the I AM, the inner witness, is guiding me toward reconciliation, not battle. Therefore, the apparent division between inside and outside yields to a single, peaceful covenant in which all parts of myself bless and align.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner word is already true: harmony reigns in your mind, and you bless the whole land of your consciousness. If any urge to fight arises, revise it to unity and feel the blessing now.
