Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 6:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

6And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

7And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

8And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

9And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

2 Samuel 6:6-9

Biblical Context

At Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah touches the ark in an attempt to steady it; God strikes him, David fears, and the Ark's proper handling becomes a matter of inner reverence and order.

Neville's Inner Vision

David’s scene is a parable of your interior state. Uzzah’s reaching hand is the ego’s attempt to stabilize life by force when the world shakes. The ark is your inner sense of God, the I AM that you are. The oxen tremble, and the law declares that life moves by a sacred order you cannot override with willful grasping. When you try to grip outcomes, a breach appears—fear, correction, and a pause in peace. The remedy is to stop reaching and begin aligning with the inner rhythm: acknowledge the ark’s presence, trust its care, and spirit its movement forward. Let the sense of "I AM" be your point of reference, not the need to control. In effect, you become the watcher who invites the sacred to govern your experience, not the resolver who enforces it by force. With this inner alignment, what seemed like danger becomes reverence, and you walk the path with awe rather than fear, allowing the ark to enter your life at the right moment.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the ark-holder now; breathe into your chest and affirm, 'I AM' presence governs my life. When a circumstance shakes, revise the impulse to force and feel the relief of surrendering to inner timing.
