Inner Kingship and Divine Judgment
2 Kings 23:36-37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoiakim began to reign at twenty-five, ruling Jerusalem eleven years. He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, following the example of his fathers.
Neville's Inner Vision
That Jehoiakim's outer reign was evil and repeated the pattern of his fathers is not a history lesson, but a mirror of your own inner resistance. In this moment, the kingdom you rule is your consciousness, and the throne is your attention. The line 'they did evil in the sight of the LORD' becomes, for you, a confession that your inner state has obeyed a former self, a line of tradition rather than the living I AM. Yet the I AM within you is untouched by the outward record; it simply awaits your assumptive act. When you imagine ruling from a state of holiness, you do not erase the past by willpower, but by a shift of identification: you are the awareness that chooses a new 'family' of thoughts—not the old imagined ancestry but a fresh, reverent allegiance to divine order. By revision you replace fear with trust, habit with faith, and you awaken to the truth that authority arises from inner alignment, not external lineage. The consequence is a present kingdom where you govern with obedience, not compulsion, and the old evil dissolves in the light of the I AM you truly are.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet and assume the throne of awareness; repeat, I AM the king of this inner state, and I choose holiness now. Feel it real as you revise the old lineage into a faithful, orderly mind.
