Inner Edomites of the Mind
2 Chronicles 28:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a second Edomite invasion that smites Judah and carries off captives. In Neville's terms, this mirrors inner assaults that rob us of our royal sense and peace.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, the Edomites are not distant foes but stubborn states of consciousness that intrude upon your inner kingdom. When Judah is smitten and captives are carried away, you are simply witnessing a shift in internal weather: a belief, a fear, or a memory that has crowded out your awareness of the I AM. The exile is not a geographical event but a slide into restricted imagination, a moment you identify with lack rather than freedom. Return comes as you revise the scene with the awareness that you, and you alone, are the authority over the dream. By insisting 'I am the I AM,' you dissolve the power of those inner invaders and draw your captives back into the heart where they belong. This is not punishment but a teaching: your consciousness governs the dream, and renewal follows alignment with the truth of your being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: 'The Edomites have no claim; my Judah is restored within me.' Then breathe, feel the I AM reign, and let the imagined restoration settle as fact in your chest.
