Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 22:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 22 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

2Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

2 Chronicles 22:1-2

Biblical Context

Jerusalem crowns Ahaziah, the youngest, after the eldest are slain; he reigns in Jerusalem for one year.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville view, the city is your mind, the people are your thoughts, and the crown is your dominant idea. The band of Arabians and the killing of the eldest signal upheaval in outer circumstances, but the inner truth remains: the ruler you acknowledge in consciousness becomes the ruler of your life. Athaliah, the mother, stands for inherited patterns and loyalties that cling to you; the old king's line dies so a newer, more flexible energy may govern. When you understand that the outer reign is merely a projection of inner states, you can revise inwardly, choosing a king whose authority comes from I AM awareness rather than fear or habit. The one-year reign reminds you that every moment is a season of consciousness—and you can shift to a fresh, more harmonious ruler at any time by aligning with the I AM, that constant knowing which never ages or wanes.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state of kingship now. In your imagination revise the scene—declare I AM the rightful ruler of my inner Jerusalem, feel the crowd's approval, and let the new vitality reign.
