The Inner Consequence Realized

2 Chronicles 21:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 21 in context

Scripture Focus

18And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
2 Chronicles 21:18

Biblical Context

The verse narrates God striking the king with an incurable disease in his bowels after a long sequence of events.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the I AM perspective, this verse is not about punishment handed to a man from outside, but a vivid mirror of a life out of alignment with truth. The king’s bowels symbolize his deepest driving desires and fears, the inner charge that governs him. When the outer world bears a disease that cannot be cured by ordinary means, it reveals a state of consciousness that has grown stubborn or prideful, insisting on its own way rather than the divine idea immanent in all life. The LORD, the I AM within, does not torment so much as awaken; the \"smite\" is the dislodging of a false assumption, a turning away from the image of self-will to the recognition that health and order arise from alignment with the Truth of being. To heal, one must not fight the symptom with more force, but revise the inner state: claim I AM as the sole governor of your life, and imagine the body responding to that truth. Feel the reality of harmony now, and hold that feeling until it overrides the old conviction.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM health' as the governing reality, and feel that truth moving through the abdomen; revise the last belief that produced pain until the new state is felt as real.
