Read 2 Kings 16 in context

Scripture Focus

13And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

14And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

15And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.

16Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

2 Kings 16:13-16

Biblical Context

Ahaz prescribes the offerings and moves the brass altar to the north side, declaring the brass altar shall be for his own inquiry while sacrifices proceed on the great altar.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scriptural snapshot the outer ritual becomes a map of inner states. The burnt offerings, drink offerings, and sprinkling of blood symbolize the charged thoughts and emotions you pour into your life. The relocation of the brass altar from the forefront to the north side marks a conscious shift of attention—the moment you decide to station your inner inquiry in a new posture, looking from the I AM within rather than from habit. The command that the brass altar shall be for the owner to inquire by reveals the liberating truth: you appoint the arena of contemplation, not the deity. Your real power lies in the assumption and feeling that the completed outcome is already yours, and in the imagination you bring to the scene as if it is so. Thus, the temple becomes a reflection of your state of consciousness, and true worship is obedience to the I AM within. When you treat your inner inquiry as the throne from which you observe and revise, you align outer events with the inner declaration you hold as true.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM presence. Restate your request as already granted, feel the truth in your chest, and imagine the brass altar as your inner place of inquiry toward that reality.
