Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 31:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 31 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

2 Chronicles 31:1

Biblical Context

After purification work is finished, all Israel present destroy images, groves, high places and altars, then return each to their own cities and possessions.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment, the Israel described is your inner state of awareness. The images broken, groves cut down, and high places and altars cast down are not distant relics but beliefs and attachments that have claimed your mind. Their destruction signals a decisive inner decision to withdraw energy from false worship and to discontinue feeding those thoughts. When the work is complete, the people return to their possession—symbolizing the mind’s return to its rightful owner, the I AM, and the life that flows from that awareness. The act is not ecological conquest but inner revision: you are cleansing the temple of your consciousness so your life's actions arise from a single, unwavering worship of the I AM. As you stand in this renewed state, you discover that the inner kingdom, long assumed separate, was always yours to govern. The cleansing makes manifest the truth that your imagined world is a reflection of your inner state, and freedom comes when you no longer serve idols but live as the I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM has cleared every idol from your mind. Feel yourself stepping back into your own city, living as the rightful possessor in alignment with the I AM.
