Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 21:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

3For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

4And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

6And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

2 Kings 21:2-6

Biblical Context

Manasseh's reign is marked by idolatry—rebuilding altars, worshiping other powers, and profaning the LORD's temple—leading to spiritual consequence and judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

To view these lines through Neville's lens, Manasseh embodies a state of consciousness that has forgotten its true ruler and calls idols to fill the space of God. The 'high places' are elevated beliefs above awareness; the 'altars for Baal' and the grove denote appetites fed under the illusion that they shape reality. Worship of the 'host of heaven' mirrors bending to transient powers instead of resting in the inner I AM. Building altars within the LORD's house desecrates the sanctuary; the two courts symbolize mind’s outward and inner realms that must align. 'Making his son pass through the fire' points to sacrificing innocence to fear or habit; 'familiar spirits and wizards' are the repeated patterns mistaking as truth. The answer is simple: return to the I AM, renounce idols, and feel you already dwell in the temple of God. When you claim that sole reality, life rearranges to match the renewed state of worship.
