Inner Cities of Prosperity
2 Chronicles 8:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
That Huram restored cities were built by Solomon, enabling Israel to dwell there, and Solomon prevailed against Hamathzobah; the verses show authority and providence at work.
Neville's Inner Vision
These verses whisper that the restored cities are not geography but the states of consciousness you willingly inhabit. Huram's work mirrors the mind's memory of divine provision, and Solomon's building of those cities is your act of vivifying intention within the I AM. Hamathzobah, conquered by Solomon, stands for every fear and resistance once assumed as real; yet when you dwell in the recovered districts, your outer world begins to obey the inward order. The children of Israel dwelling there signify your faculties—reason, will, imagination—settling in under the righteous rule of divine consciousness. In truth, you are not seeking victory from without, but issuing decrees from within: the power to prevail is already in you as the I AM. As you hold the end in mind—that your inner citadels are restored and secure—the mental movements align: you build, you dwell, you govern. Providence flows through your decisions, and discernment guides you to protect what you’ve claimed. The outer events simply reflect the inner settlement.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the restored cities within you. declare in your mind, 'I AM the governor of this mind,' and dwell there for a few minutes, letting the sense of conquered obstacles become your ordinary experience.
