Inner Kings and Sacred Wealth
2 Kings 12:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hazael defeats Gath and presses toward Jerusalem; Jehoash plunders temple treasures to appease him, showing the outer fright and political trade of the moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read these verses through Neville’s lens is to see Hazael’s siege as a symbol of the mind’s pressure, and the temple’s gold as beliefs we cherish. Jerusalem stands for your inner sanctuary of awareness, and the hallowed things are the sacred ideas you refuse to surrender to fear. Jehoash’s action—gathering the treasure and appeasing the aggressor—becomes a tale of the habit of thinking you must pay tribute to outer powers to survive. Yet the Kingdom of God is within you, a sovereignty of I AM consciousness that cannot be diminished by external events. When you identify with the I AM and imagine the wish already fulfilled, the impression of loss dissolves; wealth becomes purified, inner stillness remains, and the external pressure recedes as if it never touched your inner temple. The events then move as outer signs of an inner turnover: you have chosen to keep your sacred substance intact in awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene: affirm that the inner temple remains intact and wealth is secured in your awareness. Feel the wish fulfilled now.
