Inner Kingdom Prophecy

Daniel 11:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

17He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
18After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
19Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
20Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Daniel 11:17-20

Biblical Context

Daniel 11:17-20 portrays a ruler who moves to strengthen his kingdom, makes strategic alliances, and seeks to extend power. In the end, his plans falter and he is destroyed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 11:17–20 is not merely a history of kings; it is a map of your inner life. The king who 'sets his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom' represents a fixed, assertive state of mind that believes external power can secure reality. The 'upright ones' with him are those steadfast attitudes—integrity, quiet faith, disciplined attention—that witness your intents without fear. The line about giving the daughter of women and corruption points to tempting appearances that promise influence but corrupt your inner sovereignty when accepted as reality. When he turns toward the isles and takes many, notice how outer ambitions arise, yet the verse warns that such gains can be undone by their own reproach unless your inner center remains untouched. The 'fort of his own land' becoming a site of stumble and fall signals that the outer world follows the mood of your inner state. The rise of a 'raiser of taxes' stands for compulsive effort to extract value; it dissolves when you remember the I AM is the source of all worth. Align now with the I AM, and watch the outer scene respond.

Practice This Now

Assume, in imagination, that the I AM governs your entire inner kingdom. See yourself standing with your upright dispositions as a calm sovereign, and feel the outer events subtly rearranging to match that inner assurance.
