Inner Kingdom Prophecy
Daniel 11:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
