Inner Famine, Outer Gate

2 Kings 25:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 25 in context

Scripture Focus

3And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
2 Kings 25:3-4

Biblical Context

The famine inside the besieged city worsens; the city walls break, and the warriors flee as the king leads the people toward the plain.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the passage, the city and its famine are not merely siege details but states of consciousness. The breadless land is your mind starved for the bread of awareness, a sign that old patterns of lack have taken hold. The breaking of the city walls reflects the collapse of familiar structures of thought, and the retreat of the warriors by night shows how fear-bound actions yield to the pull of the outer situation. The king’s retreat toward the plain indicates a movement away from cramped inner quarters toward the expansive source of living energy—the plain as the unbounded I AM. Chaldees around the city are the relentless pressures of circumstance that seem to encircle you; yet Neville teaches that they are only projections of inner belief. By assuming a different state—one of fullness, supply, and peace—you revise the scene. Feel the truth that the I AM within is the source of all bread, and the outer siege dissolves as you occupy the inner realm with faith and imagination.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the inner city feeding itself; insist that there is bread in the land of your mind. Then declare I AM the source of all supply, dwell in that feeling until it becomes your lived reality, and step into the plain of your consciousness with a sense of abundant life.
