Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 36:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 36 in context

Scripture Focus

8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

9Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

10And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 36:8-10

Biblical Context

It records Jehoiakim’s abominations and the short reign of his son Jehoiachin. Nebuchadnezzar then exiles Jehoiachin to Babylon and appoints Zedekiah as ruler.

Neville's Inner Vision

All that you read here is not distant history but the map of your inner states. Jehoiakim’s abominations is a psyche clinging to outer appearances, a mind that seeks power in the seen world. The “book” you are reading is your own consciousness recording such misalignment. Jehoiachin’s eight-year-old ascent to the throne, lasting only a short time, signals childlike states that briefly take charge but cannot endure when you identify with the I AM. Nebuchadnezzar’s exile of Jehoiachin represents the withdrawal of vitality when fear or limitation dominates awareness. The goodly vessels of the house of the LORD lifted to Babylon symbolize your sacred faculties displaced by belief in separation. Zedekiah, installed as king, reflects a counterfeit sovereignty offered by the outer self. Yet the Kingdom of God remains the inward reality you can reclaim by turning attention from outward events to the steadfast I AM. Your present assumption can re-place true rule within you, and events will align with that inner throne.
