Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 20:12-19 - 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.

14Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

15And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

16And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

17Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

18And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

19Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?

2 Kings 20:12-19

Biblical Context

King Hezekiah shows Babylonian envoys all his riches; Isaiah warns that future generations will be carried away to Babylon. Hezekiah accepts the word of the LORD and prays for peace and truth to be in his days.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this scene is a mirror for your inner life. Babylon is not a distant empire but a state of mind that fears loss and seeks security in what can be seen. The treasures Hezekiah displays are the beliefs you call wealth: status, outcomes, the sense that 'my security rests in this.' When the outer image declares exile, it merely reveals where your attention has leaned. The prophet’s warning is not doom but a nudge to awaken: the lasting salvation is the I AM, the immutable awareness that cannot be touched by change. If you revise your state now—assume that peace and truth are your present condition—you will find the next 'Babylon' cannot dissolve you. In your imagination, live from the end: you already possess all riches in the timeless I AM, and every external turning point is just a figure showing you where to release attachment and return to inner treasure.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a living vault within you named I AM, containing your true treasure. Then repeat, 'Peace and truth are in my days,' and feel that reality as present now, letting it overwrite fear of future loss.
