Destruction of the Inner City
Joshua 6:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that all in Jericho—people, animals, and property—were utterly destroyed by the sword. It emphasizes total judgment and obedience in the conquest.
Neville's Inner Vision
What you call Jericho is the city of your habitual thoughts and claims. 'Utterly destroyed' is not vengeance but the decisive collapse of a locked pattern of mind. In Neville’s sense, the I AM within you uses imagination to dissolve the walls of limitation, replacing them with the promised end you select. The 'edge of the sword' becomes a precise act of consciousness: a clear, unwavering assumption that the end is already real. When you hold the end in inner vision, the old form yields to your new state—habits crumble, fears recede, and the sense of separation dissolves into unity with your desired condition. Obedience and holiness here mean aligning with the end rather than pleading with circumstance. It is separation from an egoic city and its laws, and immersion into the inner kingdom that already is yours in awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare the end you want as already real. See the inner city crumble, then feel the new state fully present within you.
