Inner Rehoboam's Reckoning
2 Chronicles 12:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Shemaiah rebukes Rehoboam and Judah for forsaking the LORD, warning that their outward trouble comes from an inward turning away.
Neville's Inner Vision
The text is not about geography but states of consciousness. When the prophet arrives, it signals that an inner distance from the I AM has produced a sense of threat in the outer. In Neville's psychology the invasion by Shishak mirrors a belief in separation from God. The rebuke is a corrective nudge to return to the awareness that you are one with the divine; the exile is inside, a momentary forgetfulness of the I AM's constant presence. By choosing to remain loyal to God in your consciousness, you revise the condition and watch fear dissolve as imagination aligns with the unchanging reality of the I AM. The crisis on the surface serves as a screen upon which you project your inner choice. When you refuse to accept separation and dwell in covenant with the I AM, the external world rearranges to reflect that inner truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I am one with God; I have never left the I AM. Feel that covenant, and imagine the sense of exile dissolving as you align with the I AM.
