Awakened Inner Kingship
2 Kings 16:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records Ahaz's death and Hezekiah's succession, symbolizing the passing of one reign and the rise of another within the inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ahaz represents a worn-out pattern of fear and control; to sleep with his fathers is to cling to inherited scripts while remaining unconscious in the present moment. The burial in the city of David marks the laying aside of those scripts in your mind’s inner city, the place where true kingship belongs. Then Hezekiah’s reign signals a fresh sovereign consciousness stepping onto the throne of your heart, to govern thoughts, choices, and circumstances from the I AM that you are. This is not a tale of distant history but an inner drama: the old self yields to the new order your awareness decrees. When you consent to this inner succession, you decree a reorganizing of life from the inside out. Death here is not tragedy but the completion of a state, and succession is the living fact of your ongoing ascent in consciousness. The kingdom of God becomes tangible as you dwell in the certainty that you are the ruler of your inner realm, and the outer world will reflect that inner order.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and embody the ruler-ship of your inner kingdom. Picture Hezekiah seated on the throne of your heart; feel the I AM authority guiding your thoughts and life now.
