Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 25:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 25 in context

Scripture Focus

14Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

15Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

2 Chronicles 25:14-16

Biblical Context

Amaziah, fresh from defeating Edom, worships the gods of Seir, provoking God’s anger. A prophet warns that these idols cannot save their people or him, and the scene shows the peril of turning away from true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment the outer triumph tempts the inner man to leave the throne of I AM and bow to images. Amaziah, having tasted victory, reaches for the gods of Seir as if they could secure his kingdom by ritual and incense. Yet these 'gods' are not foreign objects but inner dispositions pretending to hold power—fear dressed as devotion, pride masquerading as fidelity, appetite garbed in ceremony. The prophet's voice is your inner I AM, reminding you that such idols cannot deliver their own people out of your hand; they depend on your belief to seem real. When he speaks of the lord's anger, you hear the consequence of living by appearances rather than by the living God within. The doom is the natural fruit of replacing consciousness with forms. Return to your sovereignty by acknowledging that God is I AM within you, active and present in every choice. Your true worship is alignment with that inner governor, the source of all power and deliverance; nothing outside can save you apart from your own awareness.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already delivered from the outer gods. Revise the scene by declaring I AM as your sole governor and feel it real that no idol can save you; spend a moment in stillness and hear the inner prophet speak.
