Neville Goddard on Joshua 6:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 6 in context

Scripture Focus

3And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

4And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

6And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

7And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

Joshua 6:3-7

Biblical Context

In Joshua 6:3-7, Israel is instructed to march around Jericho with the ark and priests for six days, culminating on the seventh day with a trumpet blast and a shout that collapses the walls.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the Jericho within as a city already kept in your I AM. The six days of marching around the walls represent steady, repeated attention to your end, not a mere external plan but a purification of belief through duration. The ark of the covenant is your indwelling awareness, the I AM that knows the truth of your wish and carries it forward. The seven trumpets are disciplined thoughts that awaken the inner law; when they sound, you declare the end with certainty. The long blast and the shout are your felt-sense realization that what you seek is yours now, dissolving the old limitation as if the wall simply melts. Joshua’s instruction to move on before the ark is a cue to live from the end while your former self stands aside. If you keep faith with that state—feeling the victory, hearing the trumpet of certainty—the outer scene will yield to your inner conclusion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For a few minutes, assume the end is true now; feel the walls dissolve as you walk through the imagined city, and rest in the certainty of I AM.
