Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 12:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 12 in context

Scripture Focus

3But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

4And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,

5Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

2 Kings 12:3-5

Biblical Context

The high places were not removed, so reform remains partial. Jehoash directs offerings to repair the temple, showing outward gestures without complete inner purification.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the scene shows outer reform yet inner loyalties remain. The 'high places' are persistent thoughts and habits you still allow to rule your sense of self. The temple's treasury, the 'money of the dedicated things,' is energy you bring into awareness; when Jehoash says 'let the priests take it,' he invites these energies to be used to mend the breaches. Yet the breaches are within your consciousness—the gaps where belief in separation still whispers. The priests are your higher states of awareness, the ideals that repair the house when you align your feeling with I AM. The point is not to tear down the high places externally, but to redirect attention and invest your energy into the temple's wholeness. If you assume the temple is repaired in imagination, if you feel it real that the Presence of God fills every chamber, you will awaken to the single truth: God dwells within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in your imagination, place the offerings of your attention into the temple; declare in your heart that the breaches are healed and the Presence fills the space.
