Neville Goddard on 2 Kings 9:27-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Kings 9 in context

Scripture Focus

27But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

28And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

2 Kings 9:27-28

Biblical Context

Ahaziah flees and dies; the burial marks the end of a fearful inner state and the claim of a new inner sovereignty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the chapter as a parable of consciousness. Ahaziah represents a kingly state of Judah that has forgotten its I AM, a mind ruled by fear and outward alliances. When danger appears, he flees toward the garden house, a symbol of retreat into the sensory garden of separate selfhood. Jehu's order to smite him in the chariot is the inner act of the I AM that ends the old ruling premise. The pursuit up Gur and Megiddo mirrors the mind’s sweeping movements as it renounces the former life. The king dies there, not by human weapon alone, but by the collapse of that imagined state. His servants carry him to Jerusalem and bury him in the city of David, a sign that the real throne lies within the heart—where the Kingdom of God resides. Read thus, the passage is a law of consciousness: when you assert the new state, the old state is displaced, its effects carried away, and you awaken to the sovereign I AM that rules from within, for imagination creates reality.

Practice This Now

Practice: In a quiet moment, assume the feeling of inner sovereignty as if it already reigns. Picture Jehu as your decisive act in mind, driving fear from the chariot; see the old self carried to burial in Jerusalem and you rising to the throne of your I AM.
