Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 17:9-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 17 in context

Scripture Focus

9And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

10And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

11Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

12And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

2 Chronicles 17:9-12

Biblical Context

The verses describe teaching the Law in Judah, which brings reverence in neighboring lands, stopping war, and bringing gifts and wealth to Jehoshaphat, who grows strong and builds stores.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, Judah is your disciplined heart; the book of the Law is the order you grant your awareness. When you attend to this inner book, the fear of the LORD falls upon the outer kingdoms of your life, and war no longer presses in. The surrounding conditions respond not by force but by harmony, as Philistines and Arabians bring tribute in the form of opportunities, resources, and time saved through right action. Jehoshaphat’s wealth and cities are symbols of your reinforced inner economy—confidence, order, and a storehouse of ideas and practices. As you align with the inner law, you do not merely survive external pressures; you create a world that echoes the reverence you hold. The outer world becomes a mirror of your inner reverence, a quiet abundance that comes when you live from the I AM within rather than from lack.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are governed by the inner Law; feel the reverent state settling into your consciousness, and observe small shifts toward peace and provision in your day.
