Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 19:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 19 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

8Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

9And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

10And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.

2 Chronicles 19:7-10

Biblical Context

Plain sense: The passage instructs that the fear of the LORD should rest on the leaders, who must judge with fidelity and a perfect heart. They are to warn their brethren to avoid trespass so that wrath does not come.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear of the LORD is not terror but the sovereign state of awareness, the I AM, in which you live. When Jehoshaphat assigns Levites and priests to judge, he points to the inner faculties of your mind that discern truth from error. The 'no iniquity' clause becomes the promise that your I AM is pure and impartial, refusing gifts or favoritism from any state of mind. To 'do it... with a perfect heart' is to align your imagining with integrity, to hold a steady state of consciousness where every action arises from a complete, unified self. The warnings to your brethren are admonitions to maintain inner discipline—when thoughts or emotions threaten to mislead you, you gently remind them of the LORD's standard and refuse to trespass against your true nature. In this light, wrath is the natural consequence of discord within; peace comes only through obedience to the inner law, practiced daily in the heart and in the imagination.

Practice This Now

For 60 seconds, assume the inner judge state within your Jerusalem. Repeat the line, 'The fear of the LORD is upon me; I take heed and do it,' and feel a calm, complete heart aligning with that decision.
