Inner Exile Of Mighty Strengths
2 Kings 24:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Kings 24:16 records the deportation of the king's mightiest warriors and skilled workers by Babylon, stripping outward power. It frames judgment and exile, hinting at a future return once inner state is renewed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this verse, see the exodus of your outer strengths as a dream of belief. The 'men of might' and the craftsmen are not captives of a distant empire, but images of your own faculties pressed into a foreign land by a prevailing thought—fear, scarcity, doubt. Babylon represents the dominant story you have believed about yourself: a history that claims your value lies in brute force or skilled output rather than in the I AM that you are. Yet the movement is not punishment but invitation. When your inner army is deported, you are faced with the possibility of revision, of calling back your strength through a different consciousness. The true power comes from within, not from external battles. The return of your army begins the moment you assume the new state and feel it real, and imagine the kingdom restored as already true in this present moment.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the mighty ones returning to your inner city; feel the air of sovereignty as a present-tense state. Speak softly: I am the I AM; my kingdom is restored now.
