Inner Crown of Authority
2 Chronicles 10:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rehoboam ruled over the Israelites dwelling in the cities of Judah. It records the continuation of his authority over those people.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville reader, this is not a political note but a map of your inner kingdom. The 'Israelites' represent the many facets of consciousness that acknowledge a life lived in awareness; the 'cities of Judah' symbolize organized states of mind—habits, beliefs, and loyalties—uniting under one sovereign outcome. The phrase 'Rehoboam reigned over them' reveals that your I AM—the I am that you are now aware of—has asserted dominion over these parts, not by force but by the certainty that there is only one ruler. When you awaken to that unity, the divisions of inner life submit to unity, and even the outward world reflects a single government. The passage invites you to stop seeking external kingdoms to prove your worth; instead, align with the one mind that rules and you will see your inner city reorganize itself, loyalties compounding into harmony, and the sense of separate kingdoms dissolving into a cohesive, living consciousness. Practice seeing your awareness as the sovereign king whose authority is already established within you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare I AM is ruler over all my mind's cities; revise any thought of separation by acknowledging one sovereign, and feel that ruling presence now.
