Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 11:15-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 11 in context

Scripture Focus

15But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

16And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

17And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD's people; between the king also and the people.

18And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.

19And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

20And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.

2 Kings 11:15-20

Biblical Context

Jehoiada the priest removes Athaliah, ensuring the king's rule is restored and the people covenant with the LORD. The people destroy Baal worship, appointing proper temple order.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jehoiada stands as the vigilant governor of your inner commonwealth, commanding the soldiers of your attention to lead out the impostor Athaliah—the rebellion of fear, doubt, and false worship that would rule your temple. In Neville's light, the house of the LORD is your awakened awareness; the ban against slain in the temple is your clear decision that the ego’s brutality has no place in the sanctuary of your mind. The covenant he makes—between the LORD and the king and the people—is your inner agreement that you, the I AM, will be the sole occupant of the throne. As the people sweep through the land and break Baal’s altars, you release every idol that claimed your loyalty, and appoint priestly order to the house of the LORD: discipline, devotion, and steady reverence. The king descends from the LORD’s house by the gate of the guard to his throne; inner sovereignty returns, and the city rests in quiet. Athaliah’s removal is the night turning to morning in your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Jehoiada within your mind overseeing a cleansing of your inner temple. Assume the throne of the I AM and publicly revoke every idol; feel the inner peace flood the city.
