Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 33:10-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 33 in context

Scripture Focus

10And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

11Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

12And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

13And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

2 Chronicles 33:10-13

Biblical Context

God's word comes to Manasseh and his people; in captivity he humbles himself, prays, and is heard, returning to his kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the record shows how a man’s outer ruin mirrors an inner collapse—a collapse that becomes a doorway. The kingdom's oppression is not punishment but the discipline of consciousness, pruning the mind until something within says, 'I am.' When affliction comes, the ego’s stories falter; in that moment Manasseh prays, and in that prayer the I AM answers. The hearing is not a historical miracle but an inner recognition: the God of his fathers is the God of his own awareness. The return to Jerusalem is the conscious re-entry into his kingdom, now living from the awareness that the LORD is God. In this light, the verse teaches that mercy awakens when the self yields to its true state. The outer events mirror the inner revision: what you endure becomes the pressure that dissolves false identity, and what remains is the realization that God is within— the one true ruler of your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the state 'I AM' as your present reality, feel the prayer already answered, and revise any sense of separation until you know you are restored.
