Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 27 in context

Scripture Focus

1Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

2 Chronicles 27:1-2

Biblical Context

Jotham begins to reign at 25, ruling sixteen years in Jerusalem; he does what is right before the LORD as his father did, but he does not enter the temple, and the people remain corrupt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jotham’s reign, in this inner light, is not the conquest of a city but the assertion of consciousness. He does right in the sight of the LORD, which in the inner grammar means aligning your acts with the law of your being—the I AM that you are. The clause about him not entering the temple points to a vital truth: true authority does not depend on external shrines or ceremonies but on the throne you occupy within. When you claim the throne inside, you reign according to the pattern of your inheritance—the faithful energy your inner lineage carries—without seeking validation from outer temples. The corruption of the people mirrors neglected sovereignty in the mind, signaling that attention has wandered toward appearances rather than the certainty of God’s I AM. The inner king rules with quiet steadiness, and gradually the outer world reflects that inner order. The kingdom of God remains within; your task is to keep that inner temple intact while you act rightly in the world.

Practice This Now

Assume right now that you are the ruler of your inner state. Declare, 'I am the LORD in me; I reign in the temple of my mind.' Spend a moment in stillness and feel this reign as real, then proceed through your day with that inward authority.
