Inner Kings vs False Calves

2 Chronicles 13:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 13 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
8And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
2 Chronicles 13:7-8

Biblical Context

2 Chronicles 13:7-8 shows Rehoboam facing a large faction opposing him, with golden calves as idols; the passage contrasts external power with the true kingdom of the LORD rooted in David's line.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene you are invited to see beyond history into your own mind. The “vain men” are states of consciousness that puff themselves up in opposition to your I AM. The “kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David” is the inner government of your consciousness—the I AM ruling as king. The golden calves Jeroboam gave the people symbolize external powers and alluring idols that pretend to govern you, yet are only projections of fear. Rehoboam’s youth and tenderness reflect moments when you are tempted to rely on sentiment or outward appearances rather than the established throne within. To withstand the forces arrayed against the inner kingdom, you do not battle persons or circumstances; you revise your assumption to acknowledge the I AM as sovereign. Declare, “I am the king now; the kingdom of God rests within me.” Feel the inner governance solidify, and watch the outer agitation soften as true worship—alignment with the I AM—takes its rightful place on the throne of your mind.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the I AM is the reigning king in your mind; revise any fear of external power by affirming, 'The kingdom of God within me governs now.' Feel the inner throne becoming real.
