Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 10:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 10 in context

Scripture Focus

1And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,

2Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;

3Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

2 Kings 10:1-4

Biblical Context

Jehu arranges a coup by telling the rulers to crown the best of Ahab's sons and seize the throne. The elders' fear shows how an inner struggle over who rules can resemble a public power shift.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within 2 Kings 10:1-4, you hear the I AM moving as Jehu, a decisive act of consciousness that crowns a new ruler within. Ahab’s seventy sons are the many aspects of your old self, the habits and identifications you have allowed to sit upon the throne of your mind. Jehu’s letters are the stroke of your imagination commanding the inner council—rulers, elders, and those who raised your former ‘Ahab’ self—to look out the best and set him on the throne. The motto, ‘fight for your master's house,’ is the willingness to defend a new state of being against the noise of former loyalties. Their fear—‘how shall we stand?’—is the alarm of consciousness when a new sovereignty is declared before the inner sight has felt it as real. But the Kingdom of God is not a distant realm; it is the I AM you awaken into. When you accept one sovereign self—your chosen virtue or purpose—on the inner throne, the sense of struggle dissolves and your world must align with that inner appointment. Judgment follows awareness: you are accountable to the state you decree within, and power returns to the heart that believes.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you sit on the inner throne; declare, 'I appoint a single state of consciousness to reign here,' and feel the throne and its authority aligning all your faculties.
