Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 24:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 24 in context

Scripture Focus

5And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

6And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

7For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.

2 Chronicles 24:5-7

Biblical Context

Joash commands the priests and Levites to gather money from Judah and Israel to repair the house of God; the Levites delay; the king questions why the collection was not gathered; Athaliah's sons had broken up the temple and given its sacred things to Baal.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner interpretation, the temple is your consciousness and the king represents the I AM within. The money to repair the house of God becomes the attention, faith, and feeling you marshal within to restore your inner sanctuary. The Levites symbolize the faculties of perception, and their delay reveals how you sometimes postpone inner work when fear or habit pulls you outward. Athaliah and the Baals stand for old desires and outward show that have corrupted your inner worship. The commandment of Moses incarnates inner law, calling you to gather from all corners of your mind what is needed to repair the tabernacle of witness. Jehoiada the chief embodies the disciplined mind that enforces inner order. When you embrace this inner command and revise your sense of lack, the temple is already repaired in consciousness; outer life then follows as the natural expression of inner alignment. You are not begging for repair; you are electing it by the status of your awareness.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine you are the king commanding the inner priests to gather the resources of faith from every corner of your mind; feel the temple already repaired and inner worship established. Let any belief in lack revise itself into abundance as you dwell in the felt sense of completion.
