Sleeping Kings, Rising Consciousness
2 Chronicles 26:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Uzziah dies and is buried with the kings; the text notes he is a leper, and his son Jotham rises to reign in his stead.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's vantage, the story is not about a tomb but a turning in consciousness. 'So Uzziah slept with his fathers' signals the soul's rest within the Father, a surrender to the I AM that already reigns. The field of the burial belonging to the kings is your inner memory field where former identifications are laid to rest among the old rulers of your mind. The remark that 'he is a leper' is the moment you recognize a former self cut off from the health of wholeness; the sense of separation dissolves as you realize you are never separated from God. Then Jotham reigning in his stead represents a fresh state of consciousness now governing from within—the I AM speaking through new choices, new priorities, new perception. Your outer life will echo this inner government as you stop rehearsing the old rule and begin to align with the new. The lesson invites an inward shift: assume the king within, and let the inner reign manifest outwardly.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, declare I am the king now, and feel the throne of awareness rise within. Let the new ruling consciousness reign in every thought today.
