Neville Goddard on Judges 18:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 18 in context

Scripture Focus

2And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.

3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

4And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

5And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

6And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.

Judges 18:2-6

Biblical Context

Dan's tribe sends five men to scout the land, consults the Levite priest, and seeks divine counsel to know if their path will prosper. The priest reassures them that the way ahead is blessed by the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

That story is a portrait of the mind that insists on surveying every possibility before it believes. The Danites cast their gaze outward, but the real action occurs inward: the land they seek is a field of possibilities within your consciousness, and the 'land' prospers only when your I AM grants its sanction. The five men are facets of your attention, from Zorah and Eshtaol—your strengths and memories—journeying to Mount Ephraim, the place of decision. When they meet the Levite, you meet your inner advocate, the word-made-priest who offers a practical counsel: 'Ask God.' And the priest’s answer, 'Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go,' is not a geographical formula but a state of assurance. The moment you align with the feeling that your direction is already approved by the I AM, the outward situation begins to reflect that inner decree. Your trials become a confirmation that your chosen pathway is supported, not by chance, but by your own awakened awareness.
