Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 20:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

3I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

5Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

6And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

2 Kings 20:1-6

Biblical Context

Hezekiah is told he will die, prays to God, and is promised healing in three days with fifteen more years added to his life.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader this is not mere history but a living mirror of your inner state. Hezekiah’s sickness represents a consciousness that has forgotten its I AM. The prophet’s command to set thine house in order is an invitation to align your beliefs, aims, and energy with truth. When Hezekiah turns his face to the wall and prays, the inner petition rises from the I AM presence within you, and God’s response comes as a shift in consciousness: I have heard thy prayer and I have seen thy tears. The third day healing is an inner completion that occurs when you persist in the assumption that you are already healed. The addition of fifteen years is the outer sign that a deeper, longer-lived state is now true for you. Providence is your own consistent self-love, and Covenant Loyalty is your refusal to abandon the inner truth despite appearances. Practice is simple: assume the end, feel it now, and let your outer scene reflect your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, breathe into the heart, and assume the finished state now, declaring I am healed. Let the feeling sweep through you and live from that inner certainty, as if your days were already lengthened.
