Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 10:29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 10 in context

Scripture Focus

29Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

2 Kings 10:29

Biblical Context

Jehu, while destroying outward enemies, does not depart from Jeroboam’s calf worship. The inner pattern of idol worship persists as a consciousness that remains even amid apparent reform.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a Neville-style scripture, the verse reveals that the 'sins of Jeroboam' are not external relics of history but states of consciousness lodged in the mind. Jehu's campaign is an outer rearrangement, yet he does not depart from the inner allegiance to the golden calves. In this light, Bethel and Dan are inner altars where images are worshiped, where forms grant a sense of security. The law of consciousness teaches that God is the I AM, and any worship of a statue or a ritual is simply a substitute for the awareness of one's true Self. To change, one must revise the inner picture: assume a new state of being in which the I AM alone governs; feel it real that you are not the slave of old beliefs but the author of your life. When the mind refuses to feed those inner calves, their power ebbs and finally dies. True worship becomes inward recognition of the I AM, and outward events follow the shift in consciousness as surely as dawn follows night.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and revise the inner picture. Assume the I AM is your only reality and feel-it-real that you have turned away from the old altars.
