Scripture Focus

17And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
2 Chronicles 17:17-18

Biblical Context

Benjamin’s tribe is shown with two great contingents—Eliada's 200,000 and Jehozabad's 180,000—ready for war.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, Benjamin stands for a state of readiness. Eliada and Jehozabad are not distant generals; they are inner faculties—disciplined attention and fearless faith—prepared in full bloom by the Presence you call God. The two hundred thousand and the one hundred eighty thousand are numbers that symbolize distinct lines of impulse lining up under your I AM. When you imagine them, you are not petitioning for external power; you are aligning your inner climate so that thought, feeling, and action move as one army toward a desired end. The war is not against anything outside you, but against false perceptions of limitation. By identifying with the I AM, you invite the inner commanders to stand, bow, shield, and aim in your favor. The moment you choose to feel 'I am' as already established, you consolidate these forces and the external scene begins to respond in kind, as if to reflect that inner order. Your world becomes the mirror of your assured consciousness, and the presence of God becomes the entire army at rest within you.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine Eliada and Jehozabad as facets of your I AM, aligning your will and faith into one ready army. Hold the feeling that your inner state is already prepared for any challenge, then observe how your outer scene softens to reflect that inner order.
