Neville Goddard on Joshua 6:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Joshua 6:4-5

Biblical Context

Seven priests bear trumpets before the ark; on the seventh day the people circle Jericho seven times, blow the trumpets, shout, and the walls fall so they may enter.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through a Neville lens, Jericho's walls are the stubborn beliefs of consciousness, and the seven trumpets awaken the seven faculties of awareness. The ark stands for I AM, the knowing presence within you. Circling the city is a disciplined shift of attention toward your desired state; the long blast and shout are the moment of undeniable assumption—feel it now as though it is real. The walls crumble not by force but by your inner conviction that you and your desire are already one. As you move in this inner drama, you rise into the state you have assumed, and the external scene yields to your inner revelation. This is a practice: return to the feeling of the wish fulfilled, persist in imagination, and let the apparent walls dissolve into your living experience.

Practice This Now

Circle the city in your mind for seven rounds, hearing the ram's horn and feeling the victory already yours. On the seventh round, declare 'I AM' and permit the walls to dissolve into your realized state.
