Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 15:25-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 15 in context

Scripture Focus

25And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

26And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

27And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

28Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

29And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

30Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

31Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

1 Kings 15:25-31

Biblical Context

Nadab, son of Jeroboam, reigned two years, did evil, and his end came through Baasha's conspiracy; he destroyed Jeroboam's house as the Lord had warned, fulfilling the prophetic word.

Neville's Inner Vision

Nadab’s brief reign is a symbol of a state of consciousness that has inherited rebellion and sin. The two years on the throne mirror a window of limited awareness that has not yielded to the divine order within. Baasha’s conspiracy and Nadab’s fall reveal the natural consequence that follows when the mind clings to sin and provokes the LORD God of Israel with old patterns. The word spoken by Ahijah is not distant history but the law of your inner awareness, inviting you to end the old pattern and awaken to the truth of your I AM. When Nadab is slain and Jeroboam’s house is destroyed, it is the purification of form to match inward truth. If you identify with that old pattern, you experience outward collapse; if you align with the new king within—your true, mindful self—you establish a righteous order. The pageant of history becomes your inner drama; you decide which state governs by the faith you assume and the feeling you cultivate.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as your present ruler. Revise Nadab’s reign as a doorway to inner reform, and feel-it-real by picturing yourself stepping into a new kingly state that ends the old pattern.
