Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 33:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 33 in context

Scripture Focus

21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

23And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

2 Chronicles 33:21-23

Biblical Context

Amon, 22, began to reign and ruled two years. He did evil like Manasseh, worshiping carved images and not humbling himself before the LORD; his trespasses increased.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Amon as an inner state clinging to images rather than to the I AM. The carved images he sacrificed to are not stones, but the pictures and beliefs your mind entertains as if they were real power over you. In Neville terms, he refused to humble himself before the LORD, the I AM within, and therefore his life was governed by these idolized forms. Each image you yield to is an idol that orders your feeling and creates a reality out of form. The verse says he trespassed more and more—an escalating devotion to surface form rather than inner truth. Yet this is not a condemnation of history but a map of inner psychology: when you mistake the seen for reality and neglect the I AM, you breed a reign of limitation. Imagination, rightly directed to the Lord of your consciousness, dissolves the idols and returns you to true worship -- self-awareness as king. The contrast with the rightful humility is the invitation: become aware, acknowledge the I AM, stop feeding the idol, and watch your inner kingdom align with truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: For the next five minutes, assume the feeling of the I AM as your sole ruler. When any idol-like image arises, revise it by affirming, 'I am the awareness that witnesses this image,' and feel the truth of true worship within.
