Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 22:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 22 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

8And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

2 Chronicles 22:7-8

Biblical Context

The passage describes Jehu carrying out God's judgment on the house of Ahab and, in the process, slaying the princes of Judah who served Ahaziah.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, these verses reveal inner dynamics rather than distant history. The destruction of Ahaziah signals the collapse of a particular state of consciousness—the belief in rule by compromised loyalties and old appetite for power. Jehu’s anointing by the LORD is the I AM within you appointing a decisive inner authority to cut off the house of Ahab—the pattern of egoic ambition and corruption you tolerate in your mind. As Jehu pursues judgment on that house and encounters the princes of Judah and the brethren ministering to Ahaziah, you recognize inner voices and habits you have allowed to govern your life; they are the ministers who must fall when confronted by a higher state. The act of destruction, in Neville’s sense, is the natural pruning that clears space for a new righteous order to reign in your inner kingdom. Remember that God is the I AM and your imagination is the instrument of this renewal. Embrace the certainty that you can revise and feel-it-real the end of the old pattern, so a truer self can rule.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM as Jehu within you, commanding the old pattern to end. Then revise the scene to see a new ruling consciousness taking its place and feel it real in your heart.
