Josiah’s End, Inner Kingdom

2 Kings 23:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 23 in context

Scripture Focus

29In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
2 Kings 23:29-30

Biblical Context

Pharaohnechoh presses from outside; Josiah confronts him and dies at Megiddo, and Jehoahaz is crowned in his stead, signaling a shift of outer rule.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the realm of your mind, Pharaohnechoh represents the pressing claims of the outer self—fear, pride, habit—moving against the 'kingdom' you have built in awareness. Josiah is a state of order, a genuine intention to live in harmony with your higher sense. When that outer pressure meets him at Megiddo, the scene tells you that the old form must yield to the real power of awareness. The corpse carried in a chariot is the old, outward identity being transported to burial, so that a newer inner state may arise. The people anoint Jehoahaz and crown him king—within you, a new state of consciousness takes the throne as the old one dissolves before the light of the I AM. The law at work is simple: you are not affected by events, you are the awareness that experiences them. The moment you refuse to identify with the drama and instead revise your inner premise, the outer scene shifts to reflect your new kingship. Your inner kingdom remains intact, even as the old king passes.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and say, 'I AM the ruler of my inner kingdom,' and feel that this authority already reigns. Then reimagine a current difficulty as settled, letting the revised state govern the next moment.
