Neville Goddard on Joshua 5:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 5 in context

Scripture Focus

11And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.

12And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

Joshua 5:11-12

Biblical Context

After Passover they eat the old corn of the land, and the manna ceases; they begin to eat the produce of Canaan as their new sustenance. It marks a transition from daily supply to grounded abundance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verses reveal a shift in inner state, not a change of campsite. The old corn of the land is the produce your present consciousness already contains when you see from a state of plenty in imagination. The daily manna is the sign of lack, the bread of wandering, the belief that you must toil for each crumb of life. When you consent to eat the fruit of the land of Canaan, you acknowledge that the kingdom is within, that the Presence of God is your I AM now and always. Covenant loyalty is alignment with this inner reality, not external ritual; Providence becomes your experienced flow when you live from the assurance that you are already in possession. As you revise, you cease looking to manna and begin savoring the fruits your inner land offers. The shift happens in awareness, in a moment of feeling that you have already received what you seek. The land yields its abundance as you rest in the truth of your own I AM, and the kingdom of God is established within you here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are already eating the fruit of the land—feel its texture, taste, and the certainty that I AM within you has provided it. Throughout the day, revise any sense of lack into 'I have' now, and let that feeling-real settle in your bones.
