Stone Witness of Covenant

Joshua 24:25-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 24 in context

Scripture Focus

25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
26And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
Joshua 24:25-27

Biblical Context

Joshua binds the people to a covenant today, inscribes the law, and places a great stone as a witness by the sanctuary. The stone witnesses all the words of the LORD so that the people remember and do not deny their God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the narrative as an inner drama: the people are not elsewhere, but states of consciousness, and the stone is a fixed impression held in the sanctuary of your I AM. Joshua's covenant is your decision to align with the divine law written within you. The book of the law becomes the inner script you repeatedly revise until it reflects only what your true self believes: that you will not deny the God within, the I AM presence that heard every command of the LORD. The stone, set under the oak, is a symbol of your unmovable memory of this vow. It stands in your inner sanctuary as witness to all you say and do, calling you back when you wander into fear or forgetfulness. By treating obedience as a present practice—assessing your thoughts, revising your impressions, feeling the reality of your vow—you turn the covenant into an ongoing inner reality. Your God is not distant; the covenant is your own inner agreement kept in possibility, listening to all words spoken by the LORD within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and step into your inner sanctuary. Say softly: I align with the LORD today; this stone witnesses my vow and I will not deny my God; hold the feeling as real as breath for a minute.
