Inner Kingdom Awakening Daniel 11:21-24

Daniel 11:21-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

21And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Daniel 11:21-24

Biblical Context

Daniel 11:21-24 portrays a vile ruler arising and seizing power by flattery. It describes deceit and conquest as inner dynamics within the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 11:21-24 is a map of a state of consciousness masquerading as policy and power. The vile person who arises is not a man out there, but a faithless thought—an old ego insisting it must rule. He comes in peace and flatteries, just as fear and desire sidle into your attention by pleasant promises. The 'arms of a flood' are the currents of mere outward drama that sweep you away, and the 'prince of the covenant' is your inner covenant with the I AM, dimmed yet intact. After a league with him, deceit surfaces: the mind consents to a story that you are weak, that you must barter your kingdom for comfort. He strengthens with a 'small people'—a few entrenched beliefs that stay with you as he grows. He enters your fattest places—the most abundant thoughts—and does what your fathers did not by re-creating old patterns. But this is simply a call to revision. In your imagination, you announce that the true king stands, unthreatened, and that the covenant within you is the ultimate power. You then scatter the prey of scarcity, wealth-for-its-own-sake, and fear, and establish the state of consciousness where the I AM reigns, even if it seems to be for a time.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is now king of your mind. Visualize the vile self receding as you affirm, 'I AM in dominion here.' Then revise current anxious thoughts by declaring, 'This is not mine; Christ in me rules this mind,' feeling the inner kingdom's sovereignty in the present moment.
