Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 11:29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 11 in context

Scripture Focus

29And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:

1 Kings 11:29

Biblical Context

Jeroboam meets Ahijah in the field; the prophet wears a new garment, and the two are alone, signaling a decisive inner moment rather than a public drama.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeroboam’s outward exit from Jerusalem is the stage on which an inner choice plays out. The meeting with Ahijah, who wears a new garment, is less about a man’s fortune and more about a shifting state of consciousness you can presume. The field is your inner clearing, where distraction falls away and you speak with the one I AM that knows you as your future self. Ahijah is the inner prophet, the quiet voice that appears when you dare to revise your identity, to clothe yourself in a new sense of loyalty to the Covenant of your true self. The “new garment” symbolizes a new state of being you choose to inhabit, not a change of clothes but a change of conviction. The two being alone marks that this is not performed for public approval but felt and owned within. The kingdom of God, then, is not somewhere you go but a state you assume by mental action—an inner prophecy fulfilled by your present insistence that your self sees and acts from the promised inner order.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and enter your inner field; see Ahijah give you a new garment and feel yourself already living in loyal obedience to the inner covenant.
