Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 6:16-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

16And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

2 Samuel 6:16-17

Biblical Context

The ark returns to the city of David as David dances before the LORD. Michal watches from a window, despising him in her heart, while the ark is brought to the tabernacle and offerings are made.

Neville's Inner Vision

The scene is a drama of inner states. The ark is the sign of God in your consciousness; Michal's window-gleanings mirror the outer mind resisting this truth. David's dance is the inner movement of the I AM, freely expressing reverence and alignment with the divine presence. Bringing the ark into the tabernacle David pitched symbolizes honoring your inner space as the dwelling place of God, a covenant of loyalty to the now-present I AM. The burnt offerings and peace offerings are inner acts of consecration: releasing fear, choosing gratitude, and cultivating harmony within. The outcome is not spectacle but holiness, a clear stream of divine life flowing through your mind and heart. Read this as your inner transformation: the presence of God is within your awareness, and worship means surrendering to that presence with joy and certainty.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I am the city that welcomes the ark. Feel the presence enter your inner tabernacle and revise every judgment of the inner critic as you offer gratitude and surrender to the I AM.
