Shadow Reversed: Inner Healing Sign
2 Kings 20:8-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hezekiah asks Isaiah for a sign to confirm healing and his ascent to the temple; the sign is the shadow on the sundial moving backward, proving the spoken word. Isaiah prays and the shadow returns.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville’s ear, this story speaks not of an outward miracle alone but of an inner decree. The sign sought by Hezekiah is a confirmation that what has been spoken in the mind of God is present in his body and days. The dial of Ahaz stands for time measured by limitation; the forward move is the ordinary procession of events, while the shadow turning back signifies undoing doubt and re-choosing life. When Hezekiah says the shadow shall return, he is choosing to align his inner state with the truth already spoken: healing is not distant, it is a present fact in consciousness. Isaiah prays and the shadow returns; the power behind events is the I AM within, not the weather of circumstance. You may hear this as permission to rely less on external signs and more on inner conviction. The healing is the inner alignment—your present realization that 'I am healed' reverberates through the timeline, reversing the apparent delay. The practice is simple: feel the truth in your body, maintain the image, and let the end you assume stand.
Practice This Now
Practice: close your eyes, declare 'I am healed now' and imagine the sundial’s shadow turning backward as you breathe into the sensation of restored life; dwell in that feeling until it feels real.
