Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 7:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

17And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

18And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

2 Kings 7:17-18

Biblical Context

The king’s gatekeeper dies as foretold by the man of God, and a promise of abundant provisions is declared for tomorrow at the gate of Samaria.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s inner drama, the gate stands for your point of access to creation and the lord at the gate for the old belief you’ve trusted to solve the crisis. The man of God is your inner I AM, the authoritative voice that speaks the lasting solution. When the king leans on that weary belief and the people press into the gate, the old mental order dies—so the outward scene can no longer obstruct the promised turn. The prophecy of barley and flour is not a forecast in time but a shift in consciousness: your inner account is settled, and what you call scarcity is replaced by unassailable value. The “death” of the gatekeeper is the removal of that which binds you to lack. Providence then flows as the natural consequence of your realized state; tomorrow’s gate of Samaria is your present certainty made visible. So I tell you: dwell as the man who already knows abundance, assume the end, and feel it real, and you will walk through that promised gate now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you stand at the gate of your inner city with the conviction that abundance is already yours. Say, I AM the gatekeeper; the famine is over; I feel the promised provision now.
