Baasha's Inner Judgment
1 Kings 16:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The LORD's word comes against Baasha and his house for evil, including imitating Jeroboam and provoking the LORD with the work of his hands. It also notes that Baasha killed him, marking the culmination of that pattern.
Neville's Inner Vision
Baasha here is not a man alone; he is a state of consciousness—an old, reactive pattern that acts in the realm of the king within you. The prophet Jehu is the awakened portion of your awareness that calls out that pattern, the inner witness that says, 'enough.' The LORD's word coming against Baasha and his house is the recognition that this pattern has produced evil deeds in your sight and has provoked the Lord with the work of your hands—outcomes you can no longer defend as separate from your inner state. To be like Jeroboam is to repeat a pattern of revolt against the true ruler inside; the killing of Baasha symbolizes the end of that cycle when you allow the inner revelation to revise the state. The real judgment is internal: once you become aware of this inner movement, you can revise and feel it real the new state, letting the Word govern from within. In this light, the whole verse is a map of how consciousness cleanses itself by awakening, revising, and crowning a new king within you—the I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, assume the feeling of the I AM as the inner king; declare, 'I revoke that old pattern and crown a new, peaceful state within.' Then vividly picture the inner throne shining with this new state, and let that vision feel real.
