Inner Temple Provision

2 Kings 18:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

13Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
14And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
16At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
2 Kings 18:13-16

Biblical Context

Hezekiah sends silver and gold from the temple and royal treasury to the king of Assyria to spare Jerusalem, surrendering material wealth under threat.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Sennacherib as a state of consciousness pressing against your sense of inner security. The fourteenth year marks a fixed belief of lack, a fear that cannot be ignored. Hezekiah’s tribute is not merely a historical event; it is the mind’s act of offering attention and belief to a tyrant of scarcity. In Neville’s terms, the true wealth is the awareness you are the I AM, and gold or silver are symbols of the attention you’ve wired into the scene. The scene can be revised from within: you do not lose your temple by feeling fear; you realize the temple’s abundance is your innate state. The outer plunder points to the inner transformation: you are free to maintain allegiance to the source rather than to the appearance of threat. When you finally refuse identification with lack, you permit imagination to restore sufficiency and awaken the presence of God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise the scene until you feel the temple’s wealth restored, secure in the I AM as your constant provision.
