Inner King, Inner Kingdom
2 Kings 16:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ahaz began ruling at age twenty, reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD. The verse contrasts his conduct with David, showing a failure to align with divine standard.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, 2 Kings 16:2 whispers that Ahaz represents a state of consciousness not yet aligned with the I AM. The twenty-year-old king is a maturity of thought that has not chosen to reign by divine principle; the sixteen years marks the duration of that ruling pattern in your inner Jerusalem, a stream of decisions that moves away from right action. David, your inner fidelity to covenant, embodies the remembered royalty of the mind when it obeys God within. When you notice the pull toward fear, doubt, or self-interest, you are not under the true king. You can, however, revise your state by declaring the I AM as your sovereign, choosing actions that mirror divine law, and letting the feeling of rightful reign fill your heart. This inward decision is not external obedience but alignment of your mental state with Truth, a return to the royal line of David that is forever available within your consciousness. The judgment you fear becomes a reminder of accountability, not punishment, and your inner Jerusalem becomes more steadfast as you begin to reign rightly.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the throne of your mind; declare 'I am the I AM reigning in me now' and feel the regal calm guide every choice. Hold that feeling until it anchors as your baseline.
