Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 34:8-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 34 in context

Scripture Focus

8Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

9And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

10And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:

11Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

13Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

14And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.

Biblical Context

Josiah purges the land and the temple, appoints overseers and workers to repair, and Hilkiah the priest finds the Book of the Law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage the land you read as a political space becomes the terrain of your own consciousness. The eighteenth year marks a mature state of awareness deciding to purge what no longer serves the inner temple. The money entrusted to the workmen represents the attention and life-energy you invest in your inner sanctuary; those who oversee the labor and the artisans are the faculties of your awareness—memory, judgment, imagination, and the music of harmony—acting faithfully to repair the mind. Hilkiah discovering the Book of the Law is the moment you awaken to the inner Law written upon your heart, the I AM that speaks within and orders form. The Law is not external command but an inward decree you align with until thought, word, and deed resonate with its cadence. As you honor this inner instruction, the temple of your mind becomes solid, and outward life follows in faithful symmetry. This is spiritual time realized: purification, reinvestment of energy, and the dawning of order through the discovery of inner Law within.
