Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 13:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 13 in context

Scripture Focus

6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

7And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

2 Chronicles 13:6-7

Biblical Context

Jeroboam rebels against Solomon’s line and gathers vain men to oppose Rehoboam when he is young and tenderhearted. The passage portrays inner conflict between rightful authority and rebellious voices.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the theater of the mind, Jeroboam represents a rebellious state of consciousness that seeks to overthrow the established lord within you. The servant of Solomon is your present awareness and its old habits, while the “children of Belial” are empty, flattering thoughts that gather like a crowd to destabilize Rehoboam, your tender belief in a stable self. This scene reveals that rebellion is an interior posture—an attitude of challenge to your rightful King, not a distant historical calamity. The remedy is to recognize you are the I AM, the one ruler of your inner kingdom. By dwelling in the felt certainty of kingship—by assuming the feeling of being already established in power—these inner dissenters dissolve. The “weakness” of youth in Rehoboam becomes your invitation to hold a mature, unwavering awareness, not by struggle but by revision: you align with the truth that you govern your mind. Imagination becomes your throne; the inner crowd loses its voice when you know who sits on the throne.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of being the sole king of your mind now; sit in that inner throne and affirm, I AM the Lord of this mind, ruling with calm authority until every rebellious thought quiets.
