Neville Goddard on Judges 17:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 17 in context

Scripture Focus

4Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.

5And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

6In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Judges 17:4-6

Biblical Context

Judges 17:4-6 shows Micah’s family turning money into idols, setting up a temple with a self-chosen priest, while there was no central king, and people act according to their own view.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 17:4-6 whispers a law of the soul: there is no external king to rule your inner Israel until you reign as I AM. The money returned to the mother becomes energy returned to the source, and the fixed image carved and molten proclaims the beliefs you have worshipped as power. Micah's house of gods, the ephod and teraphim, are inner instruments you have trusted to name you and command your steps; the son consecrated priest is the function of the mind made subservient to form. And in those days there was no king in Israel, meaning your inner multitudes have acted by impulse rather than the conscious rule of I AM. But the invitation remains: awaken the single king, say I AM, and align your inner temple with the Infinite Presence. When you claim sovereignty, the idol loses its hold and reality bends to your inner conviction. The only test is this: you are the ruler within, or you are the ruled; your world follows your decision to reign as I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM the King within'; imagine sweeping idols from your inner temple and replacing them with the unwavering throne of I AM, then feel the shift as reality begins to align.
