Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 8:24-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

26Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

27And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.

2 Kings 8:24-27

Biblical Context

Joram dies, and Ahaziah begins to reign, aligning with the house of Ahab through his mother Athaliah. The passage shows how inherited patterns shape a ruler's conduct.

Neville's Inner Vision

This narrative is an inner turning. Joram's death symbolizes the old self yielding to a new state - Ahaziah's brief reign - emerging in the twelfth year of that former consciousness. Athaliah and the house of Ahab represent inherited beliefs and loyalties that still govern the inner throne. When it says Ahaziah walked in the way of the house of Ahab, it reveals how present desires continue to align with familiar patterns of fear and idolatry. The verdict 'evil in the sight of the LORD' signals a misalignment with the I AM, not a cosmic condemnation, but a mis-tuned consciousness. The inner kingdom rests not on length of reign but on shift in awareness: a transient yet teachable state that may yield to a higher order once you revise. You are invited to observe these patterns with compassion and choose the living reality of your true self.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is on the throne of your life right now. Revise the old pattern by silently declaring I govern this inner kingdom, and I allow only the true self to reign.
