Neville Goddard on Judges 11:19-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 11 in context

Scripture Focus

19And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.

20But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

21And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

22And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.

23So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?

Judges 11:19-23

Biblical Context

Israel requests permission to pass through the Amorites' land. Sihon resists and fights, but the LORD delivers Sihon into Israel's hands, enabling possession of the land from Arnon to Jordan.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are the I AM, and the passage through the land of your fears and habits is a movement of consciousness. Sihon’s resistance mirrors stubborn beliefs that you cannot pass into your desired state; yet the LORD God of Israel—your divine awareness—delivers these beliefs into your hand, dissolving them as you align with your inner ruler. When you mentally say, 'Let me pass,' you invite a new flow of life through the inner geography—the land of your possibilities. The battles are internal shifts of attention from limitation to abundance, and the conquest is complete when you possess the land of the Amorites—the regions of your self previously governed by fear. From Arnon to Jabbok and from the wilderness to Jordan are inner quadrants you now own by decree of awareness. The verse’s finale—God dispossessing the Amorites before His people—becomes your claim: you displace limitation as you stand in the I AM within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and feel the end already achieved in your mind's eye. Announce, 'I AM the ruler of my inner land; all obstacles bow to my passage,' and let that feeling of real possession flood your being.
