Inner Covenant, Outer Consequences
2 Kings 24:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that he did evil as Jehoiakim had done. It marks a recurrence of a defiant inner pattern, showing how outer actions mirror an inner covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the domain of the I AM within you, 'evil' is not a distant deed but a state of consciousness you repeatedly entertain. When you align with the memory of Jehoiakim—an old, worn script—you reproduce the effect outside you. The phrase 'evil in the sight of the LORD' points to your own awareness consenting to a lower image of yourself. This is not punishment from without; it is the natural consequence of insisting you are bound by yesterday's covenant. To alter the outer world, you must revise the inner narrative. Identify the habitual thought that says, 'I am defined by past betrayals' and replace it with an image of the new covenant wherein you are unconditionally faithful to the divine I AM. The present state you inhabit is the story you have assumed in imagination. By choosing a new assumption, by feeling the reality of your oneness with the living God within, you dissolve the old pattern and awaken to a life reflecting faithful alignment with your higher self.
Practice This Now
Practice: In quiet, declare, 'I am the I AM; I choose the new covenant within me.' Then revise the memory by affirming, 'I now align with divine truth, and my outward life reflects faithful allegiance to the higher self.'
