Inner Covenant in Crisis
2 Kings 12:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hazael defeats Gath and advances on Jerusalem; Jehoash plunders sacred treasures to send to Syria, then Jerusalem recedes. The remainder of Joash's deeds is recorded in the chronicles.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, the Syrian threat is a symbol of the mind confronted by fear and the lure of outward wealth. Hazael's movement toward Jerusalem parallels thoughts marching upon your inner city of awareness when you trust outer appearances over the I AM. Jehoash stripping the sanctuaries and shipping the gold represents the consciousness that adulterates worship by clinging to material security rather than the inner holiness. The Temple of the LORD stands for your inner awareness—your ongoing communion with God. To give away hallowed things is to surrender spiritual instruments to fear, mistakenly seeking salvation in gold rather than in the abiding I AM within. Yet the record of the kings reminds you that the greater story of consciousness persists irrespective of outward events. The healing practice is to return to the conviction that God, the I AM, is your real treasury. Wealth and power shift as you revise, feel it real, and claim the inner kingdom where true worship and covenant loyalty endure.
Practice This Now
Impose the assumption: 'I am the temple of God; my wealth is the energy of holiness within me.' Visualize the hallowed possessions staying in your inner sanctuary, not sent to fear, and feel the assurance of the I AM filling your heart.
