Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 7:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

2 Kings 7:1-4

Biblical Context

Elisha prophesies relief tomorrow as famine eases; a skeptical official doubts the word, and four leprous men choose to move toward the unknown to seek life rather than die.

Neville's Inner Vision

Elisha's word is the I AM speaking within you. The famine in Samaria is a belief-state of lack within consciousness. The lord who leans on the king represents that unbelieving habit of mind; it asks, if heaven would open, could this be? The four leprous men embody the parts of you that feel unworthy or afraid, yet they choose to move toward the unknown, risking life to find something more than death. In Neville's terms, the scene shifts the moment you assume a different end: if you go toward the unknowns of your life with steady conviction, belief answers with abundance, and what is truly yours reveals itself. The miracle is inner: a single assumption, held with feeling, can turn famine into feast. The Lord's announcement is not a forecast but a reminder that your inner government already decrees supply; tomorrow's mention is your present possibility, waiting to be claimed now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, imagine you stand at the gate of Samaria and see flour and barley appearing for a shekel. Assume, 'I am abundance now,' feel it fully, and revise every doubt until it feels real.
