Inner Judgment and Return

2 Kings 2:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 2 in context

Scripture Focus

23And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
2 Kings 2:23-25

Biblical Context

Elisha travels from Bethel, is mocked by youths, curses them in the LORD's name, bears come, then he moves to Carmel and returns to Samaria.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this narrative, Bethel is your inner house of God, the little children are stray thoughts and taunts of fear arising in your awareness. When Elisha turns and curses in the name of the LORD, he demonstrates the reality you affirm by your spoken decree; the I AM there receives your word as law. The bears are not external monsters but the visible outworking of mental belief—results that spring from a state you have entertained. The count forty-two multiplies the resistance you have allowed. Moving from Bethel to Carmel and back to Samaria signifies a shift of awareness: you leave the limitation of a fear-based state, then return to the throne of your own consciousness with a new sense of sovereignty. If you wish to alter the scene, revise the premise in your mind: you are the one who speaks and believes, and by sustaining the I AM presence you dissolve the fearful outer appearances.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner throne at Bethel and declare, I am the I AM; feel the calm filling your being. Then revise the taunting thought by blessing it and choosing a new, peaceful reality, and observe the outer scene align to your inner decree.
