Inner Exile: Kings & Revisions
2 Kings 20:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Kings 20:18 declares that Hezekiah’s future sons would be taken away and become eunuchs in Babylon, illustrating the heavy personal cost tied to national judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice how a prophecy about sons and eunuchs is offered as a mirror for your inner state. The 'sons' are your new thoughts, projects, and desires longing to be born; the 'taken away' is the moment you yield them to fear and to the hollow power of the world—the Babylon that rules by appearances. In Neville's sense, the decree reveals how a state of consciousness can become a prison, where you permit limitation to govern the inner palace. Yet the page also invites you to awaken: the king of Babylon never sets a true limit on your I AM; it is only a dream you frame around your heart. When you refuse to identify with that dream and re-enter the awareness of I AM, the eunuchs dissolve and your inner kingdom remains intact. Reclaim sovereignty by imagining the palace under divine rule, where your sons are safe, alive, and multiplying in beauty. The shift is not resisting fate but revising it from the awareness that you are the author and the ruler of your inner world.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM the ruler of my inner palace; I revise every decree that keeps my sons from flourishing.' Then imagine your future projects thriving in a royal light.
