Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 23:18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 23 in context

Scripture Focus

18And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

2 Kings 23:18

Biblical Context

The king orders that the bones be left alone, signifying reverence for the prophet's presence. The bones end up resting together, symbolizing continuity of divine guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of consciousness, 'bones' are anchor points—fixed truths you do not let be moved by fear or circumstance. The command to leave them alone is a directive to keep your memory of truth intact; when you preserve these bones with another prophet's bones, you are acknowledging that spiritual guidance persists across time, in your own mind. Providence and grace attend those who honor the inner prophet; your awareness is the sanctuary where the I AM guards its own words. To the extent you allow a reality to override truth, you move the bones; to the extent you hold the memory of Truth steady, you realize the Presence of God as present-tense awareness. The presence of the bones together suggests that different aspects of truth can coexist in consciousness, binding past and present into one abiding reality. Practically, you can cultivate a practice of revision: when a disturbing thought rises, affirm 'let him alone' and return to the remembered truth. The bones become your fixed point, where imagination can move mountains because reality is consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of leaving the bones unmoved in your inner temple, and imagine the presence of the prophet resting with you as a permanent guard of truth.
