Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 18:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 18 in context

Scripture Focus

3And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

4He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

2 Kings 18:3-4

Biblical Context

Hezekiah’s reforms purge outward idols, restoring worship to the LORD by removing high places, images, groves, and the brazen serpent Nehushtan.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the story as a parable of consciousness. The 'right in the sight of the LORD' is your alignment with the I AM within; the 'high places' are elevated beliefs you mistake for power. The 'images' and 'groves' are inner pictures and habitual loves that pull you away from awareness. The 'brazen serpent' Nehushtan represents a symbol you have worshiped as protection or healing—an external object you believed could bless you. Yet the command to break it and call it Nehushtan reveals that such forms possess no real power; their value lies only in your belief. By tearing down these outward tokens and ceasing to incense to them, you return to the living Presence. Your work is to revise every outward form until you recognize that the true temple is within, and that true worship arises from the I AM here and now, alive in your imagination and feelings.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM within and declare that all outward idols are dissolved as Nehushtan into mere matter. Feel the relief of returning to the living temple and revise your belief until true worship wells up from within.
