Neville Goddard on Judges 6:19-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 6 in context

Scripture Focus

19And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

20And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

21Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

Judges 6:19-21

Biblical Context

Gideon prepares a simple offering and presents it to the angel. He follows the instruction to lay the flesh and unleavened cakes on a rock, pour out the broth, and fire consumes the sacrifice as the angel departs.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene you are Gideon within a moment of quiet conviction, not performing a rite so much as standing in a state of awareness. The kid and unleavened cakes are simple faculties offered to the one Life within you; the rock is the sitting ground of consciousness, the I AM you are here and now. When you pour out the broth and lay the flesh on the rock, you surrender appetite and opinion to the living idea behind all form. The staff touching the flesh triggers a fire from the rock, which is the inner power of imagination awakening your offerings into reality. The fire consuming the sacrifice reveals that the Presence is already present; the angel departs only when you have witnessed the truth in your own mind. The message for you is practical: align your offerings with the rock of awareness, trust the inner process, and the sense of separation dissolves as realization takes the stage.

Practice This Now

Act: Assume Gideon's role and place your offering on the rock of your awareness. Pour out the broth of fear and feel the fire of realization consume it; feel it real now.
