Read Joshua 24 in context

Scripture Focus

29And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

30And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.

31And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

Joshua 24:29-31

Biblical Context

Joshua dies at 110 and is buried in Timnathserah. Israel continues to serve the LORD through the fidelity of the elders who knew all the LORD's works.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, death is not extinction but a shift in the state you inhabit. Joshua's passing marks the moment when a particular level of consciousness—the servant of the LORD, steadfast in obedience—ceases to be a separate figure and becomes a memory that can quicken your present faith. The border of his inheritance and the hill of Gaash become inner terrains you cross when you awaken to the truth that the LORD you serve is the I AM within. The elders who overlived Joshua are the inner states aware of the LORD's works, and they remain accessible to you as you align your thoughts with the same works of power: deliverance, bold obedience, and faithful consistency. Thus, the entire nation's service to the LORD is really your own ongoing commitment to the living I AM, a condition you sustain as you dwell in a state of gratitude, trust, and imaginative assurance. In this light, the verse invites you to endow the present with the memory of past faithfulness, turning every moment into a renewed covenant.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the servant of the LORD within. Revise any fear into steadfast loyalty to the I AM and dwell in the inner inheritance you already possess.
