The Silent King Within
2 Kings 19:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse names several foreign kings and asks where they are now, signaling that such external rulers have no lasting claim over the present moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's lens, the volume of kings is a catalog of inner states, not geographic rulers. The cry 'Where is the king of Hamath...?' becomes an invitation to wake from the dream that any outward power can govern you. Every 'king' named in this verse stands for a memory of limitation you have entertained—fear, pride, anger, doubt—powers you believed could command your life. But the true ruler is the I AM within, the living God of awareness, the constant throne of your consciousness. When you realize that these kings are nothing but figures in your own imagining, their domains vanish, and you find your sovereign authority intact. The outward world only reflects the inner disposition you accept as real. So, if you desire a different scene, do not fight the kings; restore the reality of the king inside—your unconditioned awareness. Sit as king in your own mind, feel the assurance, and observe how the scene shifts to align with that inner state. Imagination creates reality; he who imagines rules his world.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place yourself on the throne of your awareness, and repeat: 'I am the king within; the external kings have no power over me.' Feel the seat, sense the sovereignty, and let your attention rest there until the outer scene reflects the inner rule.
