Neville Goddard on Judges 4:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

7And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.

Judges 4:6-7

Biblical Context

Deborah delivers God's command to Barak to assemble ten thousand men at Mount Tabor and to expect deliverance as God draws Sisera to Kishon. The passage frames deliverance as a movement arising from obedience to the inner command.

Neville's Inner Vision

Barak stands for the outward man who must hearken to the inner command. Mount Tabor is the inner hill of decision, where I arrest the scattered thoughts and choose a single aim. The ten thousand of Naphtali and Zebulun symbolize a concentrated army of disciplined imagination—firm pictures held in mind until they become real. The instruction Go and draw toward Mount Tabor is not a strategy in time but a surrender of the old self to a higher decree within. When I say I will draw unto thee, I am telling you that the conditions you call fear, limitation, and resistance will be drawn into alignment with your settled state of consciousness. Sisera and his chariots represent the stubborn appearance of circumstance; Kishon is the flow of life that carries all that does not belong to your new state. The deliverance into your hand is the truth that your present I AM already contains the fully formed victory; you simply align with it by obeying the inner command in imagination and feeling it as real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Silently declare the inner command now, I am the I AM commanding me to rise. Then feel the sense of deliverance as already accomplished, as if Sisera's fate is your own inner victory.
