Prophetic Power Unveiled

2 Kings 8:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

13And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
14So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
15And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 8:13-15

Biblical Context

Hazael doubts his potential, Elisha prophesies his future kingship, and the next day the old king dies, making way for the new reign.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville reading, Hazael represents an ego that resists transformation, asking, is thy servant a dog? The prophecy that you shall be king over Syria is not a military forecast but a declaration of a new state of consciousness awaiting recognition. The Lord revealing this future king signals that a higher interior identity already exists and can supersede the present self-image. The returning lie about recovery and the morrow's act of spreading a cloth over the face symbolize the old self dying in the light of a newer, more powerful awareness—an inner death that clears the field for the sovereign I AM to reign. The true drama is inner sovereignty: the domain of fear, habit, and doubt rearranges when you affirm the inner king. Hazael’s ascent is the psychology of becoming: the old image yields to a higher self, and the outer world adjusts to reflect that inward state. Remember, prophecy in this framework is present-tense imagination becoming tangible reality through unwavering faith in your I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, assume the feeling of the I AM as sovereign ruler of your inner Syria, and revise the scene by affirming, 'I am the king now.' Hold that feeling for several minutes to let the new image displace the old.
