Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 7:8-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

8And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

9Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

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 7:8-12

Biblical Context

The lepers discover abundant provision and decide not to hoard it; by sharing the good news, they awaken the city to its opportunity.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the camp as the inner field of my beliefs. The gold and garments are ideas I have touched with attention, the wealth of untapped possibilities. At first I may hoard them, fearing lack; the mind pretends to protect by hiding. Then a shift occurs: 'this day is a day of good tidings'—awareness expands, and I realize provision is for all, not for one. The act of telling the king's household becomes my inner proclamation, the voice that shakes the gate and calls forth friends and allies. When I voice the report, the atmosphere changes, doors swing, and provision appears where hunger stood. The miracle is not a new army, but a new state of consciousness—an openness and generosity that allows abundance to flow. To live this, I revisionize: I am in a state of abundance now; I share my wealth and my good tidings, and life unfolds in accordance with that truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine standing at the edge of your inner camp, abundance already at your feet. Feel the invitation to share and speak the tidings aloud, then act to bless another with what you now know.
