Neville Goddard on Judges 20:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 20 in context

Scripture Focus

3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?

4And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

Judges 20:3-4

Biblical Context

Israelites seek to know the cause of the wickedness, and the Levite explains that he and his concubine lodged in Gibeah, a city belonging to Benjamin.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the so-called wickedness is not an external act but a movement within your own consciousness. The question, 'Tell us, how was this wickedness?' becomes the invitation to audit the inner weather that produces outward events. The Levite’s admission that he and his concubine went to lodge in Gibeah—belonging to Benjamin—symbolizes a part of self that has chosen a habitual residence in a state or faction of desire. The city of Mizpeh, summoned at the outset, stands for a higher vantage point in awareness where the I AM observes without judgment. The “wickedness” arises when parts of your self are allowed to dwell in a lesser allegiance, asking for justice while still clinging to old loyalties. The remedy is inner recalibration: dislodge the lingering condition and reoccupy the high ground of Mizpeh, where you are governed by the I AM and the law of inner covenant. Remember: events are mirrors of consciousness; you can align them by reviving the covenant of right relation within.
