Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 27:1-3 - 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.

3He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

2 Chronicles 27:1-3

Biblical Context

Jotham did what was right outwardly, following his father, but he did not enter the temple of the LORD; the people remained corrupt, while he fortified the outer gates and walls.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner weather of your mind, Jotham represents your outward rule—the moral posture and disciplined acts you perform in life. Yet his failure to enter the temple signals a neglected center of awareness, the I AM that must govern from within. The gates and walls he builds symbolize the protective boundaries you erect around your life, the routines and structures by which you order your days. But outer order without inner worship yields a city still prone to corruption—habits persist, and true sovereignty remains unclaimed. Neville’s art teaches that your reign begins when you assume the seed of inner awareness as the source of all action. When you imagine stepping into the inner temple—your core of consciousness—the outer gates align with this divine authority, and the city reflects a reign derived from the I AM rather than from mere duty. Thus, true worship is inward allegiance that makes all outward deeds truly righteous.

Practice This Now

Assume you reign from within the temple of your heart. Close your eyes, affirm: I enter the temple of my heart now and reign as the I AM; let this inner sanctuary guide every outer act I build.
