Inner Kingdom Awakening
1 Samuel 20:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonathan questions Saul’s motive for killing David. Saul hurls a javelin at Jonathan to strike him, revealing his determined plan to slay David.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner theatre, Saul stands for a former state of consciousness — a habit of control that would strike down the dream of your David, the inner king, the awareness of God as I AM. David is your true nobility, the kingly function you are destined to claim; he is the expression of divine life within. Jonathan is the higher self, the discerning voice that refuses to condemn the birth of your highest self and, instead, asks for understanding. The javelin hurled at Jonathan is the old self’s sudden conviction to extinguish the new expression of life, the sign that the past insists on keeping the throne through fear. The verse shows that the outer scene mirrors an inner decision: if you fear your royal nature, you will project violence upon it. Yet Jonathan’s presence—his question and his stance—soothes the wound and reveals that the Kingdom of God is not a throne room but a state of awareness. When you align with I AM, judgment dissolves into accountability: you are the source of your world, and your inner sovereignty crowns you in the present moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and picture yourself as the crowned inner king, with Jonathan beside you as your trusted adviser. Revise the belief that the dream must die—feel the I AM sovereignly ruling now.
