Inner Hook and Bridle Vision
2 Kings 19:28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse indicates that divine attention is drawn to human rage and uproar, and God uses a metaphorical hook and bridle to turn the person back along the path they came.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the 'hook' and 'bridle' are not devices of punishment but images of the discipline of your own imagination. When rage or tumult rises within you, know that your I AM is listening and guiding you. This is not an external judgment but an internal invitation: you are being redirected to the posture of awareness you already carry. The cry of resistance exposes the existing image you hold of yourself as separate from the divine, and the hook and bridle gently constrain that old image, turning your momentum back toward the road of conscious life. The line about turning back by the way you came becomes a grace-filled revision: you return to the original state of I AM presence, not by struggle, but by choosing a new scene in which you are already aligned with the truth you seek. Thus, outer upheaval mirrors an inner restoration, and your world becomes the outward proof of an inward alignment with consciousness.
Practice This Now
In the next moment of disturbance, close your eyes and assume the I AM as your governing reality. Silently revise the scene by declaring, 'I am redirected by the I AM onto my true path,' and feel yourself already returned to that inner center.
