Inner Ambush, Inner Flame
Judges 20:36-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel uses a hidden ambush against Gibeah and confirms victory with a planned sign involving smoke and flame.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the city is your old self, clinging to a pattern you call Benjamin. The 'liars in wait' are the stubborn beliefs you have trusted to run your life; they rush when you refuse to revise. The ambush is not vengeance but a turning of attention: when you relax old grip and consent to a new state, the old order is struck down by the power of consciousness. The appointed sign—the great flame and the rising smoke—symbolizes revelation in imagination: once you choose a different state strongly enough, the visible world must reflect it. Do not seek outside deliverance; the I AM inside, the awareness that you are, does the execution of the new order. Your providence is present as you hold the intention and feel it real, living as if the victory has already occurred. It is judgment only in the sense that you judge and release the old self; righteousness appears wherever you insist that you are the living, thinking being you desire to be.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are already the victorious state; feel it as real now, and picture the flame rising in your inner city as proof that your assumption has been fulfilled.
