Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 7:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 7 in context

Scripture Focus

18Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

2 Samuel 7:18-19

Biblical Context

David goes into the LORD's presence, asking, 'Who am I?' He acknowledges God's faithfulness to his house and the promise of a future for it.

Neville's Inner Vision

David's act is not a mere historical moment but an inner posture. He enters the LORD's presence within his own mind and asks, 'Who am I?' This inquiry exposes that the man and his house arise from the I AM, awareness itself. The 'house' is the inner state of self-concept—the beliefs, capacities, and promises one holds about himself. When he calls what has been promised a great while to come, Neville would say the future is the image already within consciousness, waiting to be realized as present experience. David's humility is not weakness but a willing submission to a larger idea God has planted in the mind. The plan for his house points to the living, unfolding kingdom of mind that can never be exhausted by outward limits. To work with this, you do not seek external signs; you revise your inner assumption until the end you desire already feels true. Then, with feeling, you dwell in that state, and the outer scene must reflect the inner revelation.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit in stillness and assume the end: you are already the ruler of your inner kingdom. Feel the reality of your promised future now, and softly speak the end into your present.
