Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 8:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 8 in context

Scripture Focus

5And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

2 Kings 8:5

Biblical Context

Elisha recounts reviving a dead body to the king; the very woman whose son was raised then approaches the king to claim her house and land, and Gehazi confirms the miracle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Recognize that the king in this tale is your own awareness—the I AM that notices and sustains. The miracle Elisha performs is not mere history but a blueprint for what your consciousness can enact now. The revived dead body stands for a belief that you once judged lifeless; the woman and her son symbolize inner states you long to possess—security, lineage, belonging—brought to life through imagination and felt as real. Gehazi’s identification is your inner witness naming what is already true in consciousness. By telling the king of the restoration, you feed the vision back to the I AM, inviting outer conditions to reflect the revival you have embraced inwardly. The house and land symbolize steadiness, residence, and rightful inheritance in your world. If you dwell in the truth of this miracle, your outer life will follow, showing evidence of revival in form and circumstance.

Practice This Now

Imitate the scene: in a quiet moment, imagine presenting to your king the report of the life-restoration and then feel the house and land as already secured in your reality.
