Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 21:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

2 Kings 21:4-5

Biblical Context

The verse shows a king defiling the LORD’s temple by building altars to other gods inside the house and in its two courts. It stands as a symbol of inner desecration when consciousness yields to idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the story the temple is not a stone shrine but the seat of awareness within you. Manasseh’s altars arise whenever a belief of absence or external power claims authority in the mind. Each altar is a habit of thought that bows to fear, desire, or social approval rather than to the I AM that I am. The two courts of the LORD's house become the two chambers of your attention where you permit images to rule; you call one power 'men' or 'host of heaven,' but Neville would say you are naming powers within your own mind. The true worship is singular: the I AM alone. When you notice an inner altar, you do not fight it with force but revise the assumption by returning your entire temple to the one Presence. The moment you feel that I AM as the governing reality, the idols collapse into memory, replaced by the radiant awareness that never changes. This tale becomes a gentle reminder that consciousness chooses what it honors, and by choosing the I AM you restore holiness and separation from false worship.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and assume clearly: I am the temple; the I AM rules here. Revise any belief in external power, and feel the Presence on the throne of your mind, guiding every thought.
