Neville Goddard on Joshua 7:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 7 in context

Scripture Focus

21When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

Joshua 7:21-22

Biblical Context

The verse describes Achan taking spoils and hiding them, revealing how secret covetousness disrupts the community when unveiled.

Neville's Inner Vision

Now we shift to the inner realm: the tent is your mind, the garments and precious metals are attachments you secretly cherish. When you say 'I saw and covet,' you are naming a state of consciousness that believes wealth can separate you from the Whole. The moment you bury the belief under the earth of your subconscious, its weight remains hidden, yet the truth of your unity with divine provision is untouched. Joshua's search and discovery mirror the moment consciousness illumines what is not aligned with the I AM. The remedy is not to chase the gold but to awaken to the fact that you are the source of all wealth. Assume abundance; revise the belief in lack; feel the reality that you already possess the life, the garment, the gold as ideas within you, not outside you. When you align with the God within, the hidden thing is revealed as nothing in the face of your eternal abundance.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume you are the I AM looking at your own tent. Declare, 'Only God is wealth; I am satisfied in Him,' and feel it real until the sense of lack dissolves.
