Inner Kingship Through Change
Genesis 36:36-38 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 36:36-38 catalogs a sequence of rulers—Hadad, Samlah, Saul, and Baalhanan—each taking the throne after the other’s death. It is the record of succession, not of individual fate.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief list, the 'kings' are not distant monarchs but inner states of consciousness that pass the scepter from one image to another. Hadad, Samlah, Saul, Baalhanan symbolize a rhythm of revelation: as one picture of yourself wears out, a new one steps forward in the same domain of experience. Death here is symbolic of the old fixation dissolving, not the end of you. The Kingdom of God remains the timeless baseline—the I AM that witnesses the turnover and permits the form to change while the sovereignty persists. Providence is the invisible conductor, guiding the inner orchestra to its next key without struggle; your job is to notice, and to revise the sense of self accordingly. When you identify with the I AM rather than with any passing ruler, you empower the next ruler to arise from a higher image. In practice, you are invited to entertain the feeling that you are always governed by the same sovereign, and every turnover is a call to enlarge your consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the unchanging I AM seated on the throne of your life. Then revise any anxious image of succession by affirming, 'Only I AM sovereign here,' and let that feeling dwell until it feels real.
