Tribute of Inner Lands
2 Chronicles 8:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon taxed the remaining children in the land, a tribute that continued up to this day. The verse centers on subjugation and an ongoing economic sign within the narrative.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the land is your mind, and the 'children left in the land' are the facets of self and fortune not yet called into the ruling image you now claim. Solomon’s levy—the tribute imposed on them—speaks to a perpetual movement of consciousness: your outer world yields to the inner decree you still hold. The fact that this tax endures 'to this day' signals a habit of energy withdrawn from those remnants, a lingering hold over old states. In Neville’s terms, all events are the drama of I AM—awareness choosing a state and pressing it into form. If you do not revise, the leftovers continue to gird the present with yesterday's energy; if you revise, you affirm that every fragment serves the throne of abundance. So, with your inner eye, imagine that these “leftover” beings now pay tribute to your wealth, circulating their life-force back into your flourishing state. You are not bound to the old decree; you are the I AM, and by feeling it real—today—you convert tribute into provision.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the inner king's state; picture the leftover facets of self paying tribute to your abundance, then declare, 'I am wealth; every fragment serves the One I AM.'
