Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 7:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

10So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

11And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.

12And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

2 Kings 7:10-12

Biblical Context

The city is found empty; the king misreads the reason for deliverance as an external tactic rather than a change in inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the events of 2 Kings 7:10–12 are a translation of your inner condition. The city is your mind, and the camp of the Syrians is the belief in lack. When the inner observer of hunger alarms the guards and awakens the king, the outward report sounds dramatic, yet it is merely the tail of a state of consciousness already transformed. The Syrians leaving camp is not a miracle happening to you from without; it is the moment your attention ceases to resist the reality you have quietly imagined. The porters and the king’s house stand for the channels through which your renewed state announces itself—thoughts, feelings, and actions aligning with a new sense of being. Do not interpret the deliverance as a clever stratagem of external forces. Instead, recognize that the moment you assume 'I am', the siege dissolves, and the empty tents reveal your inner abundance. The law is simple: a revised assumption births a revised world, and you, being the I AM, feel the relief in the body and know the future already.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of abundance for a moment: 'I am free and provided for now.' Then revise the scene in your mind to show the camp empty and you walking in confidence.
