Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 14:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 14 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

7Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

8And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

9And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.

10Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

2 Chronicles 14:6-10

Biblical Context

Asa's people enjoy rest given by God. He uses that rest to fortify cities and prepare for potential conflict while trusting the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Rest here is not passive; it is the I AM acknowledging that all is already finished in consciousness. The land rests because God, the I AM within you, has granted a state of wholeness. From that inner peace, Asa declares, 'let us build these cities' - that is, from settled awareness you erect walls of order and protection around your life. The army described - targets, spears, shields, bows - symbolizes the faculties you bring into alignment when you know you are complete. The host of Zerah the Ethiopian represents fear, a thought-form that would overwhelm you if you doubt your rest. Yet Asa goes out and sets the battle in array, not by struggling, but by confidence in the rest that underwrites all action. The valley of Zephathah is the mental field where decisions are made and events begin to take form. When you hold to this rest, conditions prove your inner certainty; you prosper, your edges are fortified, and outer conflict yields to the order of your inner arrangement.
