Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 31:13-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 31 in context

Scripture Focus

13And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

14And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.

15And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

16Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;

17Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;

18And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:

19Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.

2 Chronicles 31:13-19

Biblical Context

The passage lists priests, Levites, and temple officers stationed to govern offerings, divisions by courses, and daily portions, all sanctified in holiness.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, the outer administration is a mirrored discipline of the inner self. The names and offices are not merely people directing a temple; they are states of consciousness performing their appointed duties within the I AM. Hezekiah’s order becomes your Assumed Self, arranging your inner faculties—awareness as the king, perception as the house of God that receives and distributes energy. Cononiah and Shimei stand for the two hands of attention, setting the rhythm by which you steward thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Kore, the porter toward the east, guards your freewill offerings—the energy you choose to give to the most holy things within. The divisions great and small correspond to all aspects of yourself, from the grand ambitions to the quiet habits, each allocated a course and daily portion. When you sanctify yourself, you are not earning holiness but assuming a state of order. Your genealogy of thoughts and the living present are gathered into a single temple where service is joy.

Practice This Now

Assume the role of governor of your inner temple tonight: declare, I am the administrator of my inner order, and feel the details of assigning duties to your faculties—will, understanding, imagination—until a sense of holy order rests in you.
