Purging Inner Altars Now

2 Kings 23:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 23 in context

Scripture Focus

12And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
2 Kings 23:12-14

Biblical Context

Josiah destroys idol altars and high places, purifying the temple precincts from false worship and symbolic idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner temple, the ascent of Josiah becomes your awakening. The altars atop the upper chamber and in the courts are not stones but states of consciousness you once treated as sacred—habits, beliefs, and loyalties to fear, pride, or lack. When you stand in the kingly mode of awareness, you beat down these altars, cast their dust into the brook Kidron, and defile the high places that sheltered old notions of yourself. The groves and images are the images of limitation—names you gave to scarcity, to failure, to separation. By breaking the images and emptying the spaces, you open the room to a new order: the bones of men symbolize the old identities dying to make room for the living presence of the I AM, the endless consciousness that you are. This is not history; it is your inner cleansing—an act of revision where you choose holiness over habit and allow the inner holy place to be filled with divine awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: in my mind I am the king; all altars to fear, lack, and limitation are destroyed and their dust is carried away by the stream of awareness. Then feel the space within me filled with living consciousness as I revise in the I AM.
