Inner Gate of Power

2 Kings 15:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 15 in context

Scripture Focus

16Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
2 Kings 15:16

Biblical Context

Menahem attacks Tiphsah and destroys it because they did not open to him. The passage foregrounds ruthless power and judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner landscape, Tiphsah is a city within your own mind. Menahem is the impulse of coercive will that would seize your territories because belief or feeling refuses to align with it. The act of smiting and ripping the pregnant women stands for the violent tearing away of unborn possibilities when you identify with fear rather than trust. The phrase 'coasts thereof from Tirzah' signals the boundaries of awareness you think you can claim by force; the failure to open is the moment you forgot that consciousness is not a place to be invaded but a state you choose. In Neville's world, all external events reflect internal states. The I AM—the aware observer—reigns above these impulses. When you perceive such scenes, you are asked to reframe: you are not a victim of circumstance but the sovereign of your own inner city, able to revise and re-situate outcomes. So, instead of violence, you invite calm, alignment, and the realization that power is the quiet certainty of being. Your imagination is the key; it creates the reality you accept as true.

Practice This Now

Imagine yourself as the I AM ruler of your inner city; revise the scene by inviting alignment rather than force, and feel the new state as real. As you breathe, let the scene settle into peace.
