Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 19:29-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 19 in context

Scripture Focus

29And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

30And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

31For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

32Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

33By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

34For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

2 Kings 19:29-34

Biblical Context

The passage offers a sign: food will come from growth, first year and second year, then in the third year sowing and harvesting return. A remnant will take root inwardly and bear fruit outwardly, and God will defend the city from invasion. The underlying message is that protection is tied to divine nourishment and faithful inner loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this scripture is a psychological parable, not a military forecast. The 'sign' of natural nourishment is the assurance that your I AM can supply all needs from within when you persist in inner faith. The remnant taking root downward and bearing fruit upward symbolizes consciousness anchored in quiet awareness that produces visible fruit in life. Jerusalem and Mount Zion represent your center of awareness where the zeal of the Lord is active on your behalf. The 'king of Assyria' is the dream of fear that would invade your mind; the LORD’s promise that it shall not come near is the assurance that your inner city is safeguarded by your unwavering trust in God’s power. By the path fear arrived, so its exit is through the same recognition of your true, defended state. The defense is proclaimed for your own sake and for the sake of your faithful inner covenant, your inner David.

Practice This Now

Assume in thought, 'I am the city defended by God.' Close your eyes and see food springing up year by year from within, while roots grow downward and fruit rises upward in your life, as the LORD keeps your inner city safe.
