Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 23:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 23 in context

Scripture Focus

14Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

15So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

2 Chronicles 23:14-15

Biblical Context

Jehoiada orders the rebel queen and has her slain outside the temple precincts, so the sanctuary remains free from rebellion. The act expresses accountability and the cleansing of the house of the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM stands as the inner king, and the queenly rebellion is the old self that resists order. Jehoiada's act of leading the captains and casting out the queen from the ranges is a symbol: the inner laws assert that a mind cannot harbor rebellion within the temple of awareness. The house of the LORD is your sacred consciousness, and the command to lay hands on her, to slay her not in the sanctuary, is the insistence that truth remove conflict, not by violence, but by clear boundary. When you identify a persistent trait, fear, stubborn pride, habit, that trait is carried to the horse gate of your mind, where the new born king's order disarms it and sends it away from the royal residence. The guards you imagine are your adaptive states of consciousness, poised to execute the old pattern, ensuring the sanctuary remains intact, orderly, and fit to receive light. This is judgment not of punishment but of alignment: by choosing a state of awareness that refuses to tolerate rebellion, you live in the kingdom of God within.

Practice This Now

Choose one stubborn habit or fear and declare in imagination that it is being led out of your mind and removed from the temple. Then feel the calm, orderly kingly presence filling the space, as the inner guards maintain safe order.
