Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 18:29-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

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 18:29-32

Biblical Context

An Assyrian king speaks to the people: Hezekiah cannot save you, nor will the LORD deliver you. He urges surrender and promises a life of ease if you follow him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear in your mind speaks through the Assyrian king, a projection of limitation that would guard you with bread and comfort rather than truth. Hezekiah stands for trust in the inner power you already possess, the LORD within—the I AM that never fails to deliver. When you yield to the voice of force, you barter with fear, accepting a land of cisterns and vines as if it were security, forgetting that all such lands exist only as states of consciousness. The scene asks you to notice how you are persuaded to doubt your own invincible presence. The deliverance you seek is not a future rescue by an external power, but the awakening of awareness that you are already whole. Neville's reading invites you to reframe this moment: acknowledge the inner king who speaks through you, and respond from assurance, not alarm. See the city not as a place to be conquered but as a symbol of your unassailable consciousness. Trust the I AM, and watch the dream of siege dissolve into a clear, untroubled awareness of being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For five minutes, close your eyes, breathe, and revise the scene by affirming, 'I am the I AM; this day is delivering me now.' Feel the inner certainty rise as the siege dissolves.
