From Exile to Presence Within

2 Kings 17:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 17 in context

Scripture Focus

18Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
2 Kings 17:18

Biblical Context

God's anger leads to Israel being removed from sight, leaving only the tribe of Judah. This portrays a state of consciousness that has drifted from the Presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you read a story of judgment, know it as a drama of inner states. The LORD's anger and the removal of Israel point to a consciousness that has turned from its Source, and the sense of God’s Presence grows faint until only a single loyal state remains—the tribe of Judah within. Judah symbolizes unwavering awareness that refuses to concede to separation. When Israel is said to be removed, the issue is not geography but a shift of inner alignment; exile arises when the mind dwells in fear, doubt, or opinion, and consciousness roams outside the inner sanctuary. Yet within you there remains one enduring venerable state—the I AM—an inner Judah that holds the throne. The text invites you to return by assuming a state of wholeness, to feel as if God is present now, and to revise your sense of distance until the entire kingdom is restored to awareness.

Practice This Now

Act: Assume the I AM as your present reality and revise any sense of separation. Feel it real that the inner tribe of Judah stands watch in your mind, restoring the presence of God.
