Neville Goddard on Judges 2:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Judges 2:22

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a divine test to prove whether Israel will stay on the LORD's path as their ancestors did. It frames fidelity as a condition of entering and walking in the covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 2:22 speaks in the inner key. The 'I' who calls Israel to covenant is your own consciousness. The 'them' through which I may prove Israel is the activity of your inner states—your desires, beliefs, and choices—set against the Way of the LORD, the governing law of your I AM. When you imagine, you awaken the inner nation to walk courageously in this Law. The so-called trials are not punishments but opportunities for you to see whether you, in your present state, align with the path you have been told to walk. To respond, refuse to waver from the imagined identity that already walks in the Way. The moment you persist in your inner fidelity, you realize that the 'fathers' are only your former states; you are now the one who keeps the Way, and the land becomes your life of harmony.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are already keeping the Way. In a moment of quiet, declare, I AM faithful to the path now, and feel that fidelity until it becomes your habitual response.
