Inner Reign, Outer Consequence

2 Kings 13:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
2 Kings 13:1-2

Biblical Context

Jehoahaz begins to reign in Samaria and does evil, continuing the sins of Jeroboam that Israel had long followed. The text shows a kingdom bound to habitual patterns, persisting in rebellion against the true covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the name Jehoahaz marks a sovereign state that has chosen to reign over a field of experience—perhaps fear, appetite, or external control. Samaria represents the seat of this ruling thought, and the length of seventeen years testifies to a stubborn habit that refuses to let go of Jeroboam’s cauldron of idols—rituals, fixes, and familiar ways of pretending to be safe. The sins of Jeroboam are not merely ancient acts; they are the inner motions of the mind that turns away from the I AM’s presence and bows to outward symbols. Neville’s psychology teaches that all events are inner movements; therefore the nation Israel sins because the state of consciousness behind it is aligned with lack rather than abundance, with separation rather than unity. The call of the moment is revision: acknowledge the old sovereignty, then assume a higher state in which the true worship of the Covenant rules the heart. When you align with the I AM, the inner king ceases to repeat old patterns, and your outer life mirrors a renewed kingdom—loyal, fearless, and true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume you are the I AM reigning now and revise the state behind the scene. Say, 'From this moment I depart from Jeroboam’s sins and reign in covenant loyalty,' and feel that certainty solidify in your chest.
