Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 23:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 23 in context

Scripture Focus

24Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

25And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

2 Kings 23:24-25

Biblical Context

Josiah removes familiar spirits, wizards, images, and idols from Judah to fulfill the law written in the temple. He stands as a king who turns the whole heart, soul, and might toward the LORD, unlike any before him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the 'idols' and the familiar spirits are the images you have allowed to govern your inner Judah—fear, desire, and identity that say I am this. Josiah's act of cleansing is the birth of a new state of consciousness: the I AM turning away from all abominations and lawlessly created images toward the one living Law in Moses' book—your true nature. When you accept the Book Hilkiah found as the inner law written in the temple of your heart, you begin to purge the scenes your imagination has rehearsed. Like Josiah, you turn to the LORD with all your heart, soul, and might, which means you align feeling and imagination with a single purpose: the realization of the inward Lord. The external purification mirrors the inner revision: as you revise your inner state to match the truth of your divine nature, there arises no other king but the I AM in command. Thus the inner sanctuary becomes holy, and your life reflects that radiant monarchy.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of Josiah—being wholly turned to the LORD. Then revise any lingering image of lack or fear by seating the I AM on the throne of your heart and feeling it as your only ruler.
