Inner Keys of Divine Kingship

Isaiah 22:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 22 in context

Scripture Focus

20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Isaiah 22:20-22

Biblical Context

God appoints Eliakim, clothes him with authority, and entrusts governance over Jerusalem and Judah. The key signifies inner doors you may open or close in your own life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the day described in Isaiah as a shift in your consciousness. God does not deliver a political change; He calls Eliakim, a state of awareness that you choose to inhabit. The robe and girdle are not garments but self-conception—how you clothe yourself in certainty and gird yourself with resolve. When I imagine this inner governor taking hold of the government, I am choosing a stable, fathering presence in my inner city Jerusalem and the house of Judah—representing my thoughts and feelings organized by love and order. The key of the house of David laid on Eliakim’s shoulder is the decision-point inside you: you decide what doors in your life are to be opened or closed. In the realm of consciousness, to open a door is to acknowledge a possibility and to close a door is to release a limitation. By silently assuming that this authority already exists within you, you are not pleading for it; you are recognizing your I AM, your awareness, as the power that constructs reality. Your imagination becomes the architect of your future.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine yourself as Eliakim for a moment. Feel the robe on your shoulders, the girdle about your waist, and the key resting in your awareness; revise any sense of limitation until doors begin to respond to your intent.
