Neville Goddard on Judges 15:4-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 15 in context

Scripture Focus

4And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

5And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

6Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.

7And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.

8And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.

Judges 15:4-8

Biblical Context

Samson captures three hundred foxes, ties torches between their tails, and burns the Philistines' crops, triggering their retaliation. He then vows vengeance, defeats them, and retreats to the top of the rock Etam.

Neville's Inner Vision

Place yourself in the scene as the I AM awakening in you. The three hundred foxes are the countless small beliefs that scurry in fear; the firebrands are clear, decisive images you hold that set alight the impression of limitation. When you let them go into the standing corn, you are not tormenting others but burning away the old conditions within your own mind, so that the outer field of your life is cleared of those crops of doubt. The Philistines cry 'Who hath done this?' and you respond from your inner authority: I did this, through the power of the I AM now awakened. The subsequent retaliation is the universe's way of showing you the consequences of your revision, which you welcome as proof of change. Samson's vow, 'Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease,' becomes your inner decision that the old state will not merely persist; it will be dissolved and no longer fed. He goes to the top of the rock Etam—a symbol of your still center where the new state rests and expands into your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the end state you desire—imagine you are already free. Feel the certainty flood your chest as you declare 'I am free now' and let the feeling settle into your bones.
