When Gibeon Heard Joshua

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, Joshua is the I AM stepping into a scene and declaring it finished. Gibeon’s inhabitants are not neighbors; they are the living voices of your past conditions, waking up to the news that a new order has appeared. The verse shows how awareness of a decisive inner act provokes reaction: fear, caution, and old habits bow to the demonstration of consciousness. Your inner self, recognizing the victory over Jericho and Ai, experiences a shift in the surrounding mood—exactly what you have assumed in imagination. The covenant loyalty you keep to your own truth becomes the anchor that holds the new outcome steady; righteousness and justice flow when you honor the inner decree rather than bending to outer appearances. Providence and Guidance speak through your imagination: what you perceive externally mirrors your inner state, and you are invited to remain the author of the scene. So, when you hear of the outer world reflecting a conquered Jericho, revise the story by affirming that the end is already done in you, and feel it as real.
