Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 24:11-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 24 in context

Scripture Focus

11For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

12Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

2 Samuel 24:11-13

Biblical Context

David is told by Gad that God offers three judgments: seven years of famine, three months fleeing his enemies, or three days of pestilence; he must choose which to endure.

Neville's Inner Vision

God’s message to David is an invitation to scan your own states of consciousness. The three options are not external punishments but inner conditions you are entertaining: famine as long lack, pursuit as persistent fear, and pestilence as quick inner unrest. Gad’s delivery shows that the power to choose rests in your awareness—the I AM within. When you acknowledge this, you see you have not been at the mercy of events but are the imaginer of them. By choosing a different state now and assuming it, you revise the reality you are living. If you desire prosperity, fix your inner conviction on the end you want and dwell in its feeling until confidence replaces doubt. If you fear trouble, remember you can revoke it by returning to the kept, chosen state of consciousness. The moment you settle into the chosen state, unseen currents begin to move toward you and liberty becomes your lived experience.
