Hoshea and the Inner Reign
2 Kings 17:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hoshea begins to reign in Samaria for nine years; he does evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings before him. Then Shalmaneser king of Assyria comes up, and Hoshea becomes his servant, paying him presents.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's keynote, the outward reign is a symbol of the states you hold within. Hoshea’s alleged evil is not a remote judgment but a map of the mind's disordered patterns when it forgets its oneness with God. The rise of Shalmaneser and Hoshea’s submission symbolize the moment when you yield to fear or limitation as if they held the power to rule your life. The “exile” in this tale is not a distant land but a displacement within your consciousness, a moment when you disengage from your true I AM and align with a projected ruler outside. The remedy is internal: assume a higher state, revise the narrative until you feel it as real, and discover that the kingdom of God is the conscious life you now inhabit. When you acknowledge that all outer events mirror inner moves, you reclaim sovereignty. The secret is to treat your inner world as the only theater of power; by choosing a new feeling and stance, you reset every outward sign as a reflection of the new you.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and affirm 'I am the I AM, ruler of my inner realm.' Revise a recent disobedience as if you chose harmony with divine order, and feel the calm sovereignty settle in.
