Neville Goddard on 2 Timothy 4:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Timothy 4 in context

Scripture Focus

8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:8

Biblical Context

Paul declares a crown of righteousness is laid up for him by the Lord to be given at that day, and this reward is shared with all who love His appearing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scripture, the crown is not a distant object but a state of consciousness you awaken in. The 'Lord, the righteous judge' is the I AM within you judging and affirming the truth you choose. 'That day' is the moment you welcome His appearing in your life, inviting the inner manifestation as real now. When you imagine yourself crowned by righteousness, you are not petitioning for something external; you are aligning with the truth that your inner world creates the outer. Those who love His appearing live in anticipation of the inner visitation, recognizing that judgment and reward are processes of consciousness, not distant events. By beholding this coming manifestation with fidelity, you affirm your true identity and draw it forth into experience.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare, 'I am crowned with righteousness now.' Feel the I AM as the judge of your life and dwell in that crown until its reality is emotionally present.
