Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 22:2-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 22 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

3And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

4Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:

5And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

6Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

7Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

2 Kings 22:2-7

Biblical Context

Josiah remains faithful to the LORD and oversees the temple’s repair, directing gathered funds to skilled workers; the money is handled faithfully.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the temple within as the field of my awareness. The king who does right is the I AM within me, walking in the line of David—the steadfast discipline of consciousness. The house of the LORD is my inner sanctuary, and the silver gathered from faithful attention is energy I invest in repair, not neglect. The funds move into the hands of those who oversee the work—inner doers who manage the movement of awareness. They give it to the doers of the work within me—the builders and masons of imagination, discernment, memory, and belief—who repair the breaches of my inner house. Timber and stone are the truths I anchor in daily life. Because I act faithfully, there is no reckoning with my inner treasury; the energy remains intact and the work proceeds. The temple grows whole, and the sense of separation dissolves as I dwell in the I AM. I am the faithful steward of my inner temple, and I witness the repair in my life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the faithful steward of your inner temple. In a quiet moment, picture the temple repaired; see the funds of attention flowing to the skilled inner workers and watch the breaches close.
