Ark, Trumpets, and Jericho
Joshua 6:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Joshua 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes an orderly procession: the armed men go before the priests who blow the trumpets, and the rereward comes after the ark. The movement is a faithful, coordinated march under the ark’s presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine this scene as a parable of consciousness. The armed men are the disciplined thoughts marching before the ark, which stands for the I AM, the Presence within. The rereward behind the ark is the guard of appearances, kept in place by faithful alignment. The priests with trumpets symbolize worshipful acts—vibrations of faith that declare truth. The sound is not mere noise but the felt state you accept as real. When your inner army moves with the ark, Jericho’s walls dissolve as outer circumstances yield to your inner order. Obedience here is not submission to external demands but alignment with the inner law: you are already God in expression, and reality rearranges to that awareness. Practice a daily revision: assume the state you desire, feel the Presence as your constant, and see the world conform to that truth with ease and fidelity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume I AM as your present reality. Visualize your disciplined thoughts leading the way, trumpets of faith sounding, while the walls of limitation melt before your consciousness.
