Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 21:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

8So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

9And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

10And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

1 Kings 21:8-10

Biblical Context

Jezebel uses forged letters in Ahab's name to condemn Naboth and have him stoned, exploiting outward authority to enforce a lie. The scene reveals how apparent law can be bent when inner judgment is missing true justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the tale is not about Naboth alone but about your own inner city. The forged letters, the king’s seal, and the call to a fast are forms your mind uses when it mistakes appearance for reality. The ‘elder’ and the ‘noble’ are your settled thoughts; the two ‘men of Belial’ are the inner accusers that arise when you identify with a state of lack or conflict. By signing such decrees you pretend to govern life from without, believing that justice comes from force and rank. Yet the Scripture speaks in the key of I AM: God, the awareness within, is the only true decree-maker. When you accept responsibility for your inner state, you revise the decree at its source rather than trying to correct the outcome. Naboth's death becomes a symbol of a former conscious stance you release, not a prophecy about others. By choosing to align with the inner justice of consciousness, you awaken a reality in which innocence and truth prevail.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the decree: in the name of the I AM, declare Naboth's life and innocence. Feel that revised state as if it already happened, and watch outer events align with this inner truth.
