Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 19:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 19 in context

Scripture Focus

5And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,

6And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

7Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

2 Chronicles 19:5-7

Biblical Context

A ruler sets up judges across Judah and commands them to judge with the fear of the LORD. They must be impartial, free from bias or gifts, judging as unto God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the land as your own consciousness and the 'judges' as the faculties of discernment you set to work in every situation. When you hear, 'the fear of the LORD be upon you,' understand that reverent awareness is the atmosphere in which you decide. You judge not for man but for the LORD within; you are not swayed by appearances, nor by gifts or favors. In this inner court there is no iniquity in the divine order, no partiality; you are called to execute truth with immovable integrity. As you hold to this, your outer conditions realign to reflect a mind that governs itself with justice. The act of appointing these judges is the discipline of ruling categories of thought—perception, motive, choice—so that every action proceeds from the I AM, not from fear or envy. Thus, your inner government becomes the law of the land you inhabit.

Practice This Now

Practice: In your next quiet moment, imagine placing an inner council of judges in every decision—discernment, conscience, and wisdom—governing with reverent attention. Revise any moment of bias by affirming, 'I judge with the LORD within, free of gifts or partiality; there is no inequity in divine order.' Feel it real: see your next choice already aligned with that standard.
