Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 12:9-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 12 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

13Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

14But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.

15Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

2 Kings 12:9-15

Biblical Context

Jehoiada collects offerings in a chest by the altar and uses the funds to repair the LORD's house. The money is entrusted to overseers who distribute it to the builders with faithful integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the chest as a symbol in your consciousness—a reserved portion of your inner budget, your will, your imagination. Jehoiada's faithfulness is your inner committee of perception and action: the priest, the scribe, the door keeper—the parts of you who guard and count your investments of energy. When there is much money in the chest, the inner I AM recognizes it as possibility, not separate matter; the funds are then assigned to the carpenter, mason, and builder within you—the faculties that repair a broken house, the temple of your awareness. The key detail is faithful administration: no display, no vanity bowls; just practical deployment toward the work that needs doing. In your world, wealth flows as you keep your attention on purpose and distribute energy where it will do the most good. The external repairs mirror the inner reform you are capable of at this moment, as you align with the truth that you are the temple being renewed by the very funds you imagine.

Practice This Now

Assume now that I AM the faithful steward of every resource; revise any lack to 'there is ample supply for good work.' Feel it real by picturing energy dropping into the chest and the temple rising anew within you.
