Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 12:7-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 12 in context

Scripture Focus

7Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

8And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.

10And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.

11And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,

12And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

2 Kings 12:7-12

Biblical Context

Jehoash moves to repair the temple and directs funds to the work, using a chest to collect money and overseers to ensure it is spent on carpenters, masons, and stonework.

Neville's Inner Vision

Assume you are Jehoash in the temple of your own awareness. The breaches you perceive are beliefs that no longer serve your true nature. The chest is the posture of assumption, a deliberate holding of your attention until it becomes money—your energy—invested in repair. The priests and scribe represent the disciplined faculties that oversee the flow of belief into action. The carpenters, masons, and stone-hewers are your inner powers working to reassemble the walls of consciousness, using the timber of intention and stone of conviction. Notice that the money appears as effort only when you keep faith with the process; this mirrors how consistent inner work yields visible renewal. The act of financing the repair is not about external rent or labels but about aligning your inner treasury with a divine blueprint. When you persist, the breaches close, and your temple grows harmonious with the eternal order within you.

Practice This Now

Imitate the scene now: sit quietly, place attention at your heart, imagine a chest beside the entrance, and drop the money of belief—confidence, gratitude, and trust—into it, then feel the walls of your consciousness becoming whole.
