Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 18:28-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

28Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

29Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

30Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

31Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

32Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

2 Kings 18:28-32

Biblical Context

An Assyrian messenger urges surrender and distrust of the LORD, offering external security; the inner contrast is between relying on fear-driven bargains and faith in the I AM within.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you: Rabshakeh is the voice of a conquered state—fear masquerading as policy—speaking in the language of apparent security. He speaks of lands and vines as if life were kept by external treaties, yet the I AM within you is the only power. The deliverance you seek is not coming from outside; it is waking to the truth that the LORD inside is your constant guide and defense. When you refuse the bargain of fear and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you step into the inner city where walls are formed by consciousness, not stone. Hezekiah’s call to trust the LORD becomes an invitation to trust the Self within, and the outer siege dissolves as you realize you are already delivered by the I AM that animates you. The kingdom you seek is a state of awareness that cannot be threatened.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am delivered now,' while imagining you stand within your inner city; refuse fear's bargain and feel the I AM affirming your safety.
