Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 27:1-6 - 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.

4Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

5He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

6So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

2 Chronicles 27:1-6

Biblical Context

Jotham began ruling at 25, reigned 16 years, did right in the LORD's sight, and built gates, walls, and cities; he prevailed against the Ammonites.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jotham's record is a parable of inner alignment. He did right in the sight of the LORD, yet the text notes he did not enter the temple—the outer house is still, while his inner investments are active. The gates and walls he builds become mental emplacements: a high gate guarding perception; walls that keep fear and distraction at bay; towers rising as vantage points of awareness. In the inner economy, the Ammonite tribute becomes a symbol that abundance follows when the mind is prepared. The line 'So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God' declares that power is the result of deliberate inner preparation, not luck. Thus the kingdom you seek is born from the discipline of imagining the self as already in right relationship with the I AM—the LORD your God—right now. The world is your outer echo of that inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I am prepared before the LORD' and, in quiet, visualize building gates and towers within your mind; feel the strength and abundance that follows as you stand in that inner alignment.
