Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 22:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 22 in context

Scripture Focus

19Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

20Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

2 Kings 22:19-20

Biblical Context

The king's tender heart and humility before the LORD lead to a peaceful death and protection from future judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the king embodies a state of consciousness: tenderness and humility before the I AM. When the inner voice speaks that the place and its people have earned ruin, you respond not with defense but with a surrender that tears the old garment of belief and weeps in quiet contrition. This inner weeping is not shame but a release of resistance, a turning of attention from fear to truth. Then the LORD answers, I have heard thee, and you are gathered into thy father's peace—an inward resting in the eternal now. You do not witness outward calamity as destiny; you dwell in the living presence that makes all judgment moot. The promise to see no evil becomes the inner experience of peace: your eye rests in the light of God, mercy flows through you, and the end of the story is a serene rest rather than a catastrophe. Thus humility, mercy, and meekness become your daily shalom.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and enter the tender-hearted stance before the LORD. Revise a fearful story about your life to: 'I am gathered into my grave in peace,' and feel that peaceful end as your real now.
