Crown of the Inner Covenant
2 Kings 11:4-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoiada the priest gathers the rulers, makes a covenant, and crowns the king, organizing guards to protect the house of the LORD. The episode serves as a parable of inner governance and rightful authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner life is the temple, and the story of Jehoiada is a manual for how a state of consciousness governs itself. The gathering of hundreds, captains, and guards symbolizes bringing the disparate parts of yourself into a single line of sight: the I AM, your eternal king. The "king’s son" and the crown signify the rightful royalty of your awareness—the realized I AM seated on the throne of attention, crowned by the testimony within you. The threefold watch—at the house, at the gates, all round about with spears—represents the discipline of belief: what you allow in, what you fence off, and what you protect with unwavering focus. When Athaliah cries treason, you hear the old belief patterns protesting the sovereignty of the I AM; you respond by heeding the priestly oath and sealing the covenant in the temple of awareness. The outer act mirrors the inner conversion: a clear decision, a steadfast boundary, and a joyous declaration of the king. By aligning memory, feeling, and will, you awaken the inner government and restore true worship, right now in this moment.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner king is crowned now; feel the weight upon the head, the guards surrounding the throne, and the cry 'God save the king' reverberating in your awareness. Then proceed today from that sovereign state, acting as if your I AM rules your thoughts and choices.
