Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 15:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 15 in context

Scripture Focus

8And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

9And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

2 Chronicles 15:8-10

Biblical Context

Asa heeds the prophetic word, removes idol worship from the land, renews the altar of the LORD, and gathers Judah, Benjamin, and scattered strangers who sense the LORD's presence. This inner gathering mirrors a readiness to align all parts of self with divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

When the king heard the prophecy, he did not deliberate in the hall of fear; he acts from the I AM within. The 'idols' are the fixed beliefs and images you have allowed to rule your inner land. Removing them is not about geography but about casting out inner idols in your own heart and mind, so the altar of the LORD can be renewed where consciousness stands before the porch of awareness. The gathering of Judah, Benjamin, and the others represents gathering every fragment of self—past hurts, doubts, and limited stories—into one consciousness that knows the I AM is with you. When the self aligns with that Presence, the feeling of separation dissolves; you find your inner Jerusalem, your center, where all parts recognize their source. The verse says they did this because they saw that the LORD his God was with him—so your awake awareness is the proof. Practically, you can turn to your own imagination and act as if the divine presence is already there, and watch the former idols fall away.
