Inner Tower, Peaceful Return
Judges 8:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Judges 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
He goes to Penuel, speaks to the people; they answer as at Succoth, and he warns that upon his peaceful return he will break down the tower.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Judges text, the names and towers are not historical settings but inner landmarks. Penuel becomes your own threshold of judgment, the fortress of fixed beliefs. The people’s reply mirrors the habit of resistance inside you when a new idea approaches your attention. When the statement, 'When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower,' is made, notice the moment you decide to return to a state of inner peace, you also declare a change in the structure you have built to protect a memory or fear. The tower is the boundary you have accepted as reality; the promise to tear it down on a peaceful return is your imagination's declaration that the old limitation can fall without force, simply because you choose to align with the I AM. The inner observer—the awareness that you are more than your circumstances—approaches, and with that presence, the tower's power wanes. This is not conquest by external force but revision by awareness, a moment when you insist that peace is already present and that the world must reflect that inner order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, imagine standing before the tower of your own judgments. Say, silently or aloud, I am the I AM; I return in peace and this tower dissolves.
