Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 16:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 16 in context

Scripture Focus

19For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

20Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

1 Kings 16:19-20

Biblical Context

Zimri sins by walking in Jeroboam's path and leading Israel into sin; the verse notes his treason and that the rest of his acts are written in the chronicles. It speaks of an inner record kept by the self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zimri represents a narrow state of consciousness that sins when it clings to old patterns and idols of power, treasonously turning away from the divine within. In your inner theater, this figure embodies the rebel that echoes Jeroboam, creating separation in the 'Israel' of your own being. The 'book of the chronicles' becomes your memory of thoughts and emotions, the record you carry of what you have allowed to govern you. When you identify with Zimri, you replay the same downfall—old sin, old loyalties, old fears. Yet the inner scripture invites a quiet revision: you are the king of your mind, and the I AM is the true ruler. Do not feed the old patterns; they lose power as you awaken to a higher order. Your inner history can be rewritten to reflect unity, obedience to the divine I AM, and true worship. By imagination, you prove the law: feel the fulfilled state now, and rewrite the chronicle with a new, faithful narrative that bears fruit in your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a moment of stillness, assume the kingly state inside your mind and feel the I AM rewriting the chronicles. Then declare a new page where you walk in alignment with true worship and let the old treason dissolve as you feel it real.
