Inner Reign of Awareness

2 Kings 8:26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
2 Kings 8:26

Biblical Context

Ahaziah was 22 when he began to reign and ruled only one year in Jerusalem. The passage also notes his mother Athaliah, daughter of Omri.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ahaziah, the twenty-two year old, is a state of consciousness asking to rule. He ascends on the throne of Jerusalem—the mind’s center—but his reign lasts only a year, a sign that the surface impulse tends to fade unless rooted in the I AM. Athaliah, his mother, daughter of Omri, stands for inherited patterns of external power—the family of old thoughts that would rule from without. They occupy the inner hall of memory, yet their hold wanes when the true king awakens. The Kingdom of God, the enduring throne, remains within, only realized as constant awareness rather than a passing episode of control. When you identify with the I AM and refuse to let brief, external states dictate your experience, you rewrite the scene. You reign by continuous acknowledgment that you are the consciousness that fashions events. The moment you trust the inner ruler, the brief reign dissolves and Jerusalem becomes the setting for a stable, creative, all-encompassing rule.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the state I AM the ruler of my mind, and hold it. Revise the scene by seeing Jerusalem as the seat of awareness where the I AM permanently reigns.
