Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 32:31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 32 in context

Scripture Focus

31Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

2 Chronicles 32:31

Biblical Context

God lets the Babylonian ambassadors come to inquire about the wonder in the land, to test Hezekiah and reveal what is in his heart. The incident serves as a mirror for inner motives.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the king in you as a state of consciousness and the ambassadors as the voices of worldly curiosity and expectation. When the wonders of Providence rise in your life, the I AM—your permanent awareness—withdraws slightly, not to abandon you, but to provide a clear stage for what is truly in your heart to move. The test in 2 Chronicles is the soul’s way of inviting you to observe your own motive under fire: are you seeking signs to prove your worth, or are you settled in the quiet certainty that you already inhabit the Truth? The outward inquiry from Babylon mirrors the pull of appearances, while the inner state remains your real cause. If you lean toward proving yourself by outward accolades, you will feel pride or fear arising as you answer; if you rest in the inner knowing, such perturbations fall away and the heart remains at peace. The wonder becomes not something done to you, but a revelation of the I AM within; through this inner revelation you know what you are truly capable of becoming. Thus, the apparent testing is your doorway into conscious self-awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the heart that knows itself,' and imagine the ambassadors arriving as your own thoughts. Then revise any anxious pull by feeling the inner state as already known.
