Inner Head, Idols, and Prophecy

1 Chronicles 10:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 10 in context

Scripture Focus

9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
1 Chronicles 10:9

Biblical Context

The verse describes the Philistines stripping Saul of his head and armor and sending tidings to idols and the people, symbolizing the externalizing of a defeated king’s image and the propagation of false worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner landscape, Saul symbolizes the crowned ego—the self-image you carry with its armor of beliefs. When the text says they stripped him and took his head and armor, it speaks of a moment in consciousness where the old self-image is laid bare under awareness. The Philistines round about and the tidings to their idols and to the people reflect how outer beliefs and fears are fed by your inner pictures—what you feed with attention becomes your outward world. True worship, however, is not found in external trappings or popular opinions but in the I AM—the awareness that you are. Your imagination can revise this scene: assume the state of I AM, feel its reality, and let the old image be unarmored and exposed to light. As you revise, idols lose influence and the outer world begins to harmonize with your inner truth. This moment also carries prophecy and promise—by choosing the I AM over reverence to ego-projections, you foretell a restored order in your life, aligning with divine possibility rather than fear-based repetition.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the I AM now. Visualize the old ego’s head and armor being stripped away, then revise your outer world so it reflects true worship—where fear-drenched idols dissolve as you stand in the living presence of the I AM.
