Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 23:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 23 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

9Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.

10And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

2 Chronicles 23:7-10

Biblical Context

Levites guard the king with weapons, and the people obey Jehoiada, keeping the temple and the king under disciplined protection. The guard extends from the temple’s right to its left, surrounding the royal presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the king as your higher self—the I AM that never falters. The Levites with weapons are the disciplined thoughts and steadfast beliefs you keep circling your consciousness. The house of God is your temple where entrance and passage are watched by inner law. When Jehoiada speaks, he represents the fixed order of your character, the decisions you make to guard your attention. The spears, bucklers, and shields are the convictions and memories that stand in readiness to defend your peace. The order to stand with the king at all times—when you come in and go out—teaches you to maintain alignment with the I AM at every entrance and exit of life. Your reality unfolds not from outer events but from the activation of this circle of guards around the core self. If you repeatedly assume being surrounded by such faithful protectors, you will awaken to the feeling of security and unity that precedes action. You are not seeking protection; you are becoming the state of awareness that protects itself by its own intrinsic order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision the king surrounded by a ring of loyal guards hidden within your mind; feel their steady presence at every entrance and exit of your day, and silently affirm, I AM.
