Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context

Scripture Focus

22If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

23Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

2 Chronicles 6:22-23

Biblical Context

Verse 6:22-23 describes a dispute brought before the altar, where heaven hears and judgment follows. It frames divine justice as a restoration of order: recompensing the wicked and justifying the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

I have learned that the altar is the seat of my own awareness. When a neighbor wrongs me, the 'neighbor' is a state of consciousness I have entertained; the oath is the fixed belief I have sworn about what must happen to me. Heaven hearing from heaven is my inner hearing, the I AM within which weighs every inner movement. Judgment and recompense are not external sanctions but shifts of my inner atmosphere: to recompense the wicked is to dissolve that old state by aligning with a new assumption; to justify the righteous is to restore communion with my true self. As I dwell in a new state, the world rearranges to fit that state. The law within me operates through consistent feeling and imagination: assume the end, revise the present, and feel it real. My covenant loyalty is fidelity to the I AM, which knows justice, unity, and love; the Presence of God becomes the immediacy of awareness that never leaves me.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and place yourself on the throne of your consciousness. Speak and feel, 'I am the righteous now; I release the offense and grant restoration within me,' until that state sits in your chest as relief.
