Inner Purge: Josiah's Purification
2 Chronicles 34:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Josiah purges altars and idols across the lands of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and Naphtali, and returns the people to Jerusalem. The verse mirrors an inner cleansing of the mind and heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of this moment as a turning within. The lands named—Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, Naphtali—are not distant places but states of consciousness clinging to old forms of worship. Josiah is your attentive I AM, the awake ruler who refuses to tolerate idols in the heart. With mattocks in hand, he breaks down the altars and the groves, and beats the carved images to powder; this is the inner revision by which belief is undone. Each idol represents a limiting image you have granted power to, a belief about separation or lack that you have not yet questioned. When these images are ground to dust, the land changes; not by force, but by the decision of awareness to withdraw belief from false worship. The land then returns—like a city, Jerusalem—into the inner center of awareness, where true worship, in spirit and truth, begins. This is the law Neville often speaks: imagination creates reality; your outer world obeys the state you entertain within. So purging is not conquest of others but conquest of your own pictures.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your constant governor; in imagination, see the idols crumble to powder and declare, 'I AM free.' Then dwell in the feeling of return to your inner Jerusalem.
