Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 15:26-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 15 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

1 Kings 15:26-30

Biblical Context

Baasha murders Nadab and destroys Jeroboam’s house, fulfilling the LORD’s word because Jeroboam’s sin had Israel astray. The passage presents judgment as the outward consequence of inner patterns that separate from God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Baasha represents the impulse of assertion arising in your consciousness, Nadab the part carrying an old pattern, and Jeroboam’s sin the persistent belief that keeps your inner Israel from the divine. This is not mere history but the law of life: imagination feeds the life you live, and what you feed becomes your outward world. When the old pattern is challenged, the old image loses its power; the LORD’s word spoken by Ahijah is the inner verdict of your I AM: keep attention on the state you desire and the old pattern dissolves. The third year of Asa points to change arriving through settled conviction, not force. Your inner kingdom is governed by a higher law that cannot be violated by fear or doubt; the anger of God is the friction you feel when you pretend the old self remains. Return to the truth that you are the I AM, and the external drama must bow to your inner victory.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state of the I AM as ruler of your inner kingdom; declare that the old Jeroboam pattern is dissolved and its house is wiped away. Feel the certainty that the end is already established in you and let that feeling color your day.
