Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 35:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 35 in context

Scripture Focus

1Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,

3And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

4And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

5And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

6So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

2 Chronicles 35:1-6

Biblical Context

Josiah leads a national Passover, appoints priests, sanctifies the people, and organizes the temple service to restore holy worship in Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the Passover is an inner turning point where awareness assumes control and brings the heart's ark into center stage. The call to sanctify, to set the ark in the house, and to stand by divisions becomes a guide for arranging the faculties of mind—belief, imagination, desire, and action—into a single harmonious order under the I AM. When you prepare yourselves according to David and Solomon's writings, you are aligning your inherited mental patterns with a living present-tense truth. The imperative to 'kill the passover' translates to releasing old states of fear and separateness, while 'serve now the LORD' becomes serving your own higher Self; obedience is not outward duty but inner fidelity to the divine idea within. This entire sequence shows that outer ritual reflects an inner discipline of consciousness, and that true worship arises when imagination and will are yoked to a single, capable I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit in quiet, claim: I place the ark of divine idea at the center of my mind and sanctify my thoughts; then breathe out the old ego and invite a fresh, unified I AM-guided sense of self ready to act in harmony with the divine.
