Preserved Prophets Within
1 Kings 18:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jezebel killed the LORD's prophets. Obadiah saved a remnant by hiding one hundred prophets, fifty in each cave, and feeding them bread and water.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jezebel's storm of fear and power in the outer world does not annihilate truth; it compels you to become the custodian of the inner remnant. Obadiah is your I AM, the conscious that loves truth and will not surrender it. The hundred prophets signify divine ideas alive within you, kept safe by a cave-like subconscious where two camps—fifty and fifty—are nourished by bread and water, the simple daily presences of awareness. This is not escape but nurture: you feed truth with steady attention, imaginative faith, and the belief that Providence upholds you until the outer scene can align with the inner reality. The mercy here is not to suppress fear but to preserve the living seed of God within, guided by a quiet, sure movement of consciousness toward its renewal. In your present experience, the inner movement of preservation proves that your inner world is governed by a compassionate providence that sustains what matters most until it can freely express again.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and take the role of Obadiah: in your mind, gather one hundred inner prophets and place them, fifty in each of two caves. Feed them bread and water as you affirm, I AM, I protect and nourish truth within me.
