Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 20:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

12At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

2 Kings 20:12-13

Biblical Context

Berodachbaladan sends gifts to Hezekiah after his illness; Hezekiah shows all his treasures to them.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the king's wealth is not a ledger of gold but a map of states of consciousness. When Berodachbaladan arrives with letters and a gift, Hezekiah's impulse to reveal all the house of his precious things is the moment we are asked to consider: who is being shown? The outward scene mirrors an inner invitation to confront pride, exposure, and the belief that security rests in possessions. In truth, the Babylonian envoy serves as a symbol, an image of recognition from without that compels you to face your inner treasury. The silver, the gold, the spices, the armor are not separate things to be guarded; they are patterns of awareness you have called wealth. The correction is not to hide but to realize that your wealth is an I AM, a present awareness that can be felt as real regardless of another's gaze. When you quietly claim your inner riches as your own, you enter the Kingdom of God, the I AM behind every image, where abundance is a consistent feeling-state, not a sum in a vault.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, for a moment, assume the feeling: I am wealth in this moment. Then revise any pride by declaring: my riches are consciousness, not outward possessions, and let that inner wealth fill me now.
