Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 27:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 27 in context

Scripture Focus

7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 27:7-9

Biblical Context

The passage notes the rest of Jotham’s acts, his wars and ways, and his 16-year reign beginning at age 25; he dies and Ahaz succeeds him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jotham's reign is not history but your inward authority taking form. The 'book of the kings' is the inner ledger where your states of consciousness are indexed. When you feel the impulse to reign—at twenty-five in spirit—you begin to govern the center of your awareness, and the events that follow are the inner battles and strategies of your imagination. The wars you fight are mental revisions, the ways are the patterns you choose to express. 'He slept with his fathers' speaks of old hereditary patterns relinquished as a new line of kingship asserts itself in you. And 'Ahaz his son reigned' marks a shift to a fresh, perhaps unfamiliar, inner governance—the birth of a new belief, a new way of feeling your power. The continuity of the inner kingdom remains: your I AM remains king, your life writes itself in the book you keep within. By treating the present moment as the throne, you align with the eternal rule.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the feeling of the 25-year-old king within you and rule the inner city of Jerusalem. Revise any sense of lack by declaring, 'I am reigning now,' and watch your inner book update with victorious entries.
