Worship Without Compromise

2 Kings 17:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 17 in context

Scripture Focus

32So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
2 Kings 17:32-33

Biblical Context

The passage shows people who fear the LORD yet appoint low priests and worship their own gods, mixing true devotion with idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses reveal that fear of the LORD does not guarantee exclusive worship. In the inner temple, the LORD stands as awareness, while the lowest-priest images point to small, habitual voices that pretend to serve God while surrendering to lesser loves. The houses of the high places are the mind’s elevated altars where old patterns sacrifice for new ideas. By honoring the LORD yet serving other gods, the mind acts as if two kingdoms share the same throne, mirroring the nations from which you imagine you were carried away. Yet the I AM cannot share sovereignty with fragments. The true interpretation is that you have only one temple: your consciousness aligned with the One Presence. When you declare unity—I AM in all—the splintered priesthood dissolves and true worship becomes the sole ruling energy of your life. This is not history but a present-state invitation to re-vision the inner scene.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and revise the inner scene by assuming the One Presence as sole ruler. Feel it-as-real that all priests and altars bow to the I AM within you.
