Daniel 11:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

13For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
14And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
15So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
16But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
Daniel 11:13-16

Biblical Context

The passage depicts a northern king returning with power and wealth, others rising to oppose the south, and his advance into the land so complete that no strength resists him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Daniel 11:13-16 as a map of inner states, not armies. The king of the north is the dominant thought of lack that returns with greater energy—the belief you must conquer life by force, with wealth or power. The south is the memory of what you fear losing, the robbers of your people who accede to the vision to test it. They shall fall when you refuse to invest in them. The king's setting up of a mount and taking fenced cities are the mental images you have built to defend your dream. Yet the line remains: none shall stand before him; he shall stand in the glorious land, by his hand consumed. In inner terms, a new sovereign I AM arises, consuming the old doubts and dissolving the outer battles. When you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, the perceived foes lose their hold, and you inhabit the inner kingdom where the vision is already accomplished.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and identify the king of the north as the stubborn thought of lack; rest in the I AM and feel the land within as present. Repeat I AM as the sovereign ruler for a few minutes daily.
