Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 1:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 1 in context

Scripture Focus

2And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.

3But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?

4Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.

2 Kings 1:2-4

Biblical Context

Ahaziah seeks a remedy from Baalzebub; Elijah rebukes that outward search. The passage shows the consequence of trusting external powers rather than the living I AM within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the outward journey to Ekron’s god is a vivid drama of your inner states. Baalzebub represents the habit of seeking health, power, or fate outside yourself. The angel of the LORD speaking through Elijah points you to your central truth: there is a single God within, the I AM that you are. When the question is posed, is there not a God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baalzebub, you are being asked to examine where you place your trust. If you feel separated from divinity, you will defer to external powers; if you awaken to your inner divinity, you know the answer is already present. The king’s bed and the decree of death illustrate the natural outcome of a mind fixed on appearances rather than the reality of God within. For Neville, healing arises from the inner state, not the external circumstance; events follow the dominant conviction you hold in consciousness. The remedy is not struggle with outer trials but a revision of your assumption until you feel it real that God governs from within, not from Ekron.
