Grove Purged Within
2 Kings 23:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The king removes the grove of idol worship from the temple area, burns it, crushes it to powder, and scatters the ashes on the graves, signaling purification. It marks a decisive break from false worship and a turn toward true worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this passage, the grove is an inner attachment to a symbol or image that nourishes a false sense of life. The king’s removal of the grove from the house of the LORD and its journey to the brook Kidron mirrors a decisive shift of consciousness toward cleansing awareness. Burning the idol to powder and scattering its ashes on the graves of the people signifies the dissolution of the old self-image that sustained that worship. When you encounter a false image, move it from the shrine of your mind into the river of the I AM, scorch it with the flame of your imagination, and cast its powder into the dust of the past. The result is a purified sanctuary where true worship arises not from ritual, but from alignment with the living awareness within you.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the inner king, remove every idol of limitation from your sanctuary and carry it to the brook of awareness. Burn it to powder, scatter the ashes on the graves of the old self, and feel the inner temple becoming pure and ready for true worship.
