Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 24:25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 24 in context

Scripture Focus

25And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

2 Chronicles 24:25

Biblical Context

The king falls sick, is betrayed by his own servants over a priest's blood, dies on his bed, and is buried in David's city, not with the kings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, in this scripture the king stands for the ruling state of consciousness you are currently entertaining. The departure of his attendants and their 'great diseases' are the tumultuous thoughts that arise when you forget your true sovereignty. The conspiracy for blood is the mind replaying past harms and causing you to fear that your authority is endangered. Yet the death of the king is not punishment; it is the inner shedding of an expired identity, a necessary letting go so a higher self can reign. The City of David—the inner sanctuary—becomes the locus of your true sovereignty, while burial not among the sepulchres of kings signals that external honor is not the measure of your power: you exist in the living presence of I AM. When you assume the feeling of the fulfilled king, you revise the scene so that the old governors fall away and a fresh reign blooms within. Your reality is not shaped by outer plots but by the inner decree that you are, here and now, the I AM in command.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, repeat 'I AM,' and revise the scene—see the old king yield to a renewed inner reign, the inner City of David crowned, with the tomb of the past replaced by living light.
