2 Kings 13:17-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 13 in context

Scripture Focus

17And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
18And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
19And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
2 Kings 13:17-19

Biblical Context

Elisha commands the king to shoot eastward as a sign of deliverance and to strike the ground with arrows, promising that the LORD will deliver Syria; but the king’s limited strikes yield only partial victory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville framework, the window eastward is your opened consciousness toward the future you already possess. The arrow you shoot is a firm assumption—the spoken act by which you call deliverance into the present. The deliverance promised is inner liberation: freedom from fear, limitation, and doubt, realized by the I AM that you are. When the king strikes the ground only three times, it reveals a partial conviction; true victory comes when the inner act is repeated until the belief stands complete. The arrow of deliverance does not bargain with circumstance; it demands unwavering faith and steady revision until your inner atmosphere matches the outcome you seek. So practice: stand in quiet awareness, picture the east window fully open, affirm that the deliverance is already accomplished, and feel the power of your I AM moving through you. Persist in that feeling until your outer world reflects the inner conclusion, and the imagined victory becomes your lived reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, open the east window of your mind, and declare, The arrow of deliverance is mine now. Then strike the ground in your imagination, repeating until you feel the complete victory as an inner certainty.
