Inner Kings, Quiet Reign

2 Kings 14:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 14 in context

Scripture Focus

16And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
2 Kings 14:16-17

Biblical Context

The passage notes the death of Jehoash, Jeroboam’s succession in Israel, and Amaziah’s fifteenth-year longevity after Jehoash’s death in Judah.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner world, the death of Jehoash represents the passing of a former state of mind that once seemed sovereign. Jeroboam’s rise signals a new ruling consciousness taking the throne of your thoughts. Yet Amaziah’s fifteen years of life after Jehoash’s death reveals the continuity of the kingdom’s vitality—life doesn’t end with one state; it is transfigured and prolonged within the I AM. This is not history but inner movements of awareness. When you bear in mind that you are the sovereign of your inner realm, you can welcome the birth of a fresh state without denying the value of what preceded it. Imagination is the instrument by which you fashion your reality; therefore, you may allow the old to sleep and permit the new to reign with confidence. Your inner landscape can host both the memory of the past and the promise of ongoing life, each serving the purpose of a more complete expression of your divine nature. The “kings” are states; the throne is awareness; you decide which to crown by where you place your attention.

Practice This Now

Assume the old self has died and a new inner king has begun; imagine Amaziah living fifteen years in your inner life, then feel it real as present experience.
