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

Read 2 Chronicles 25 in context

Scripture Focus

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 25:16

Biblical Context

The king questions the prophet's counsel and pleads to be spared. The prophet declares that God has determined to destroy him for not heeding the counsel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as the inner drama of your own consciousness. The king represents a stubborn state that resists the clear counsel of your higher I AM. The prophet is the still, small voice within, the I AM speaking truth about misalignment and its consequences. When the king asks if he is made of the king's counsel, he reveals identification with a false authority—an egoic voice that shrinks from revision. The declaration 'God hath determined to destroy thee' is the inner verdict that forms when you persist in a belief you have outgrown. To heal it, you must accept the counsel you hear, revise the assumption about who you are, and feel it real as already done. The moment you choose to listen and align, the imagined future bends toward wholeness, and the sense of destruction is replaced by renewed purpose.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of obedient listening to your inner counsel. Sit quietly, then repeat, 'I listen to the I AM now,' feeling that this union is already done and real in the present.
