Neville Goddard on Judges 2:20-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 2 in context

Scripture Focus

20And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

21I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

22That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

23Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

Judges 2:20-23

Biblical Context

Israel's breach of the covenant provokes divine anger, and God withholds complete conquest to test if they will walk in the Lord's way.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within these lines the anger of the LORD is the I AM fiery in you when you forget that you are the within-keeper of the Covenant. The nations left standing are the unrevived habits of fear that Joshua did not drive out, still clinging to memory. God does not move them out hastily to punish you, but to prove whether your consciousness will keep the way of the Lord now, as your fathers did in their time. The Covenant is not a distant treaty; it is your present decision, your I AM choosing to walk in alignment with divine principle. When you forget, the test arises as a circumstance, challenging your faith to stay loyal. This inner testing is not a judgment of your worth but a refinement of your state of consciousness. Embrace the proving as a doorway: you decide anew, you revise and reaffirm your oneness with the Law, and the outward signs follow your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, claim, I AM the Covenant keeper now. Then revise any sense of breach by feeling yourself already aligned and walking in the Way.
