Neville Goddard on Joshua 3:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

Joshua 3:13

Biblical Context

Joshua 3:13 tells of the priests with the ark stepping into the Jordan, and the waters part, signaling God's presence and a path forward. It emphasizes covenant loyalty through faithful action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joshua 3:13, in my reading, is the drama of consciousness. The Jordan becomes a symbol of the stream of thoughts and fears moving through your awareness. When the priests' feet rest in the waters, you are saying I AM here, present now. The waters part not by force of the world, but by the inner movement of your state. The sign—waters held back and piled—becomes the visible proof that Providence guides your life from within. The ark carries the LORD of all the earth, and the ark is your focused attention: your awareness anchored in the truth that God is within. The instruction is to stand and witness as the inner crossing occurs, and your faith is the assumption that this inner reality is already true. As you dwell there, old habits, doubts, and resistance part, and a new path forms in your life, consistent with Covenant loyalty and God's guiding presence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and say I AM here now, and imagine the Jordan parting as you assume a new state of consciousness. Let that feeling real guide one practical step today.
