Counting Israel, Inner Kingdom
2 Kings 3:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Kings 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jehoram goes out to count all Israel, signaling a ceremonial audit of his realm. The act reflects inner life: what you count in the outer world mirrors what your consciousness affirms about its own kingdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s tone, the census is not a mere external tally but a symbol of the soul auditing its own states. The king stepping from Samaria represents the awakened I AM surveying the landscape of inner faculties—memory, reason, appetite, imagination—counted into light by awareness that is the true governor. To count is to name and claim, not to prove power to others but to affirm sovereignty within consciousness. The outer act becomes an inner revision: as you acknowledge each inner state, you empower the I AM to redraw the map of your kingdom according to belief and feeling. The number of Israel dissolves into a deeper realization: your awareness creates the reality of the kingdom you inhabit. When you align with the I AM, you discover the kingdom is not strengthened by external measures but awakened by inner attention. The census dissolves into freedom as you realize you are the timeless ruler counting your own Jerusalem.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are counting your inner states. Name one state you wish to elevate, revise it by stating, 'I am the I AM,' and feel the realization as if it already is.
