Read 2 Kings 17 in context

Scripture Focus

21For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
2 Kings 17:21

Biblical Context

2 Kings 17:21 describes Israel being torn from the house of David, Jeroboam becoming king, and the people turning away from the LORD, committing a great sin.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the text speaks not of distant kingdoms but of your own interior governance. The 'house of David' is the stable awareness—the throne of truth in you. When Jeroboam, the self-willed king, asserts himself, the mind moves into rebellion against the LORD, and you find yourself behaving as if life were apart from the I AM. The 'great sin' is the enduring belief in separation, which prompts acts, thoughts, and feelings that contradict your divine nature. Israel’s split is your own mind divided between two rulers: the eternal I AM and the ego’s counterfeit sovereignty. As long as you entertain Jeroboam, you drift from following the LORD and from the unity that sustains all harmony. But you can restore the kingdom by returning to the I AM within, by assuming that you are already the one true king who loves, provides, and fulfills. In that assumption, the house of David is re-established; obedience is simply the effortless living of your true state of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly for a few minutes and assume the feeling, 'I am the I AM in this mind now.' See Jeroboam dissolve, and let the throne of the house of David shine within you.
