Neville Goddard on Numbers 16:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 16 in context

Scripture Focus

13Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

14Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

Numbers 16:13-14

Biblical Context

The verses show a people bitterly lamenting their lack of promised abundance, accusing Moses of thwarting them and demanding the land and its wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the line 'Is it a small thing...' becomes a symbol of a mind clinging to control. The wilderness is not a geography, but a state of consciousness where the desire for an outward inheritance blocks the inner land that already exists. The complaint is not only against a leader, but against the internal posture that wants to appoint a prince over perception. When you feel you must be led into milk and honey by someone else, you reveal resistance to your own I AM, the awareness that is always leading you toward abundance. The true inheritance is a state you assume as real in imagination, not a trophy you win by argument. To remain attached to the old story is to starve the living, to close the eyes to truth. The inner shift is simple: revise the scene to acknowledge that you already possess the promised land within. By feeling it real now, you dissolve the wilderness and step into a conscious walking in abundance, governed by your I AM rather than by fear or grievance.
