Inner Wealth Voyage
2 Chronicles 8:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon travels by sea with commissioned ships and returns with a great amount of gold, illustrating divine provision through cooperative effort.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the verse as a map of your inner life. Solomon stands for the awakened I AM, ruler of your thoughts. Eziongeber and Eloth are edge-sea states where the old and the new meet. Huram’s ships and the skilled mariners are your inspired faculties—faith, imagination, memory—mobilized by trust in the divine. Ophir is the reservoir of inner value, and the four hundred and fifty talents of gold represent the wealth of realization that comes when you align with your inner I AM. The voyage is not about geography but about consciousness: providence orders your steps through cooperative powers within you, returning abundance to the king of your domain. See this as your own kingdom approach: the more you assume your I AM as present and guiding, the more the ships of insight bring gold from Ophir into your life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, in the I AM of your being, imagine a fleet of ships sailing from your edge-of-consciousness to Ophir and returning with 450 talents of gold. Then revise any limitation with: 'I am now supplied, and my wealth is unfolding through divine partnership.'
