Inner Reign, Outer Sin
2 Kings 15:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zachariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned six months in Samaria and did evil in the sight of the LORD, continuing the sins of Jeroboam.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your soul is not ruled by a distant king of Israel; the name Zachariah, the six months, the outward event are symbols of your inner state. When you align with the I AM, you abandon the old pattern that kept you captive to Jeroboam’s sins. The shortest reign in the text points to a moment in consciousness where you awaken, yet may still be chained by inherited attitudes. The law of your life responds to your present state of awareness. If you insist that the ego’s worship is true, you will see the outer scene reflect that choice—short and grim, a six‑month season that ends without lasting change. To alter the outer, you must revise the inner: imagine a permanent reign of righteousness, stillness, and true worship in your inner Samaria. Declare that the I AM now governs, and feel the shift as the old sin dissolves into harmless memory. Your inner ruler does not age; it simply shifts attention from the old idol to the eternal I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the posture of a timeless ruler within. Revise the old pattern by affirming 'I AM the ruler here' and feel the new reign taking hold in your inner Samaria now.
