Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 8:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 8 in context

Scripture Focus

2That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.

4And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.

5Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

6And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.

2 Chronicles 8:2-6

Biblical Context

Solomon continued the work Huram had begun: he built the restored cities and settled Israel there. He expanded his realm from Hamathzobah to Tadmor, constructing store and chariot cities across Jerusalem, Lebanon, and the lands of his dominion.

Neville's Inner Vision

All those cities are not bricks but states of consciousness you cultivate within. The I AM of your being is the kingly consciousness that builds order, provision, and protection. Huram’s restorations symbolize gifts from your subconscious—the ideas and opportunities that arise when you imagine rightly. Solomon’s building is your deliberate act of assuming a new disposition; the store cities are reserves of memory, skill, and energy you draw upon as you move. The wilderness of Hamathzobah and Tadmor stands for unformed potential becoming form as you persist in inner reality. The fences, walls, gates, and bars are boundaries you erect in mind to guard the new order. The geography of Jerusalem and Lebanon then maps your daily life: as you dwell within this inner dominion, your outer world mirrors the inward kingdom. Providence and guidance flow when you acknowledge that you are already king of your realm; wealth, security, and welfare follow as you maintain the imaginative state of dominion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, declare 'I am the ruler of my inner city,' and visualize bricks rising to form sturdy storehouses of memory and resources. Then feel it real, dwelling in that inner citadel for a few minutes, and let the sense of dominion color your next actions.
