Inner Kingdom Night Rescue

1 Samuel 31:11-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 31 in context

Scripture Focus

11And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
1 Samuel 31:11-12

Biblical Context

The inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead hear of what the Philistines did to Saul and, at night, brave warriors retrieve Saul's body and his sons' bodies from the wall of Bethshan and burn them there.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner sphere, the Jabesh gatekeepers are states of loyalty to the ideal king within you. The night watch you read as the dark hours of belief, when fear would shut the gates. Yet the valiant men rising in darkness are the creative faculties that refuse resignation and move to recover what loss has taken from you—the integrity of your own crowned essence. To fetch Saul and his sons from the wall of Bethshan is to retrieve the truthful images of your inner government from the boundary where life and memory meet. The act of burning them there is not violence but consecration: you release the old power identifications that kept you bound to a former form of leadership. By honoring that leadership in the inner act, you awaken a unity of purpose, a sense that the kingdom is within your I AM, not governed by outward chance. So, in imagination, you mobilize your heart's night watch, go forth, and bring your inner king home to Jabesh, where it can be honored and maintained in love and unity.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and assume the feeling that your inner king is restored. Visualize gathering the 'bodies' of past limits from the wall of Bethshan and burning them in the inner flame of devotion to the Kingdom within.
