Inner Battle of Judges 20

Judges 20:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 20 in context

Scripture Focus

23(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Judges 20:23-24

Biblical Context

The Israelites seek divine guidance about renewing battle with Benjamin. God commands them to go up, and they press forward again the next day.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 20:23-24 shows the inner states of a man or woman of imagination, not a tribal army. When the people weep before the LORD and seek counsel, they are inviting the I AM to become the perspective from which all action springs. The LORD’s answer, Go up against him, is not a call to slaughter but a command to assume a higher posture of consciousness, to move from hesitation into determined action in alignment with your desired state. The Benjamin inside, the brother-state of consciousness, is not banished by fear but faced with resolve. The second day’s approach mirrors the persistence of a healed imagination: after listening to inner guidance, you return to the field with a clarified intention, your awareness a little more fully awake. This is the spiritual principle: prayer clears the fog, counsel anchors direction, and action authenticates the inner vision. The event is an invitation to practice trust in the I AM and in the power of imagination to shape experience, one sustained step at a time.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, imagine the inner voice of the LORD as a wise guide within you. Ask, 'Shall I go up again toward my Benjamin?' When a clear impulse arrives—'Go up'—feel it as certainty and revise any doubt into resolve, then act in alignment with that certainty in your next moment.
