Inner Trust Over Outer Threat
2 Kings 18:19-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rabshakeh taunts Hezekiah, asking what confidence they place in and implying reliance on Egypt or man-made power. The inner message is about where you place your trust: on a bruised reed or on the living I AM within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this dramatic moment, Rabshakeh’s voice is the doubt that prowls the mind, asking, 'What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?' The siege, the staff, and the boast of Egypt are symbolic pictures, not final facts, of what you lean on in fear. To say, 'We trust in the LORD our God' is to acknowledge a higher inner alignment—the I AM within—rather than any outward helper. The altar Hezekiah removed and the insistence on worship in Jerusalem signify that true allegiance is to inner worship, not external forms. When you affirm that the LORD has gone up against this land, you are really affirming that your inner consciousness has conquered the sense of danger. Neville would say the battle is mental: you revise the belief that power lies in chariots or pharaohs, and instead dwell in the certainty that the I AM is the only power here. Thus, the fear dissolves as trust becomes a lived state, and the outer world bows to your inner decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of 'I AM' as your only power, revising any reliance on worldly supports. Then imagine the inner altar restored and worshipper within you standing firm, knowing the I AM governs all you perceive.
