Baasha's Inner Judgment

1 Kings 16:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 16 in context

Scripture Focus

7And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
1 Kings 16:7

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.
