Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 14:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 14 in context

Scripture Focus

1In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

2He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

3And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

4Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

5And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

6But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

7He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

2 Kings 14:1-7

Biblical Context

King Amaziah begins his reign doing right in the LORD's sight, but not as David did; the high places remain in worship. He defeats Edom and renames Selah Jokthel, yet his reform is partial.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Amaziah stands at the helm of your consciousness in the second year, as if a new ruling power has declared itself. He does that which is right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David—your new state still copies old patterns. The high places remain, meaning you still perform familiar rituals while calling them harmless memory. The kingdom is established in your hand the moment you decide to govern from I AM, and you act against inner assassins, yet you do not annihilate the children of fear; the law of Moses—each man dies for his own sin—speaks of personal accountability. This is your invitation: take full responsibility for the consciousness you currently claim. Move decisively against the inner Edom—the lower nature lying in the arid valley of salt—by letting old fears fall away. Call the fresh interior place Jokthel—the Judgment of God within your awareness. When you own the inner results, the outer world begins to reflect the inner order you choose. Practice comes by feeling it real now, not waiting for outer proof to crown your reign.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume: I reign in my consciousness now; old patterns are dissolved and the high places are made small. Revise the story: from this moment I am the king of my inner Jerusalem, defeating the Edom within and naming Joktheel in my awareness—feel it real.
