Inner Lineage of Kings
Matthew 1:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses trace a lineage of kings, a chain of births from Ozias to Josias, presenting outward succession as a reflection of inner continuities.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this genealogy of names you are invited to see your own life as a succession of inner states. Ozias, Joatham, Achaz, Ezekias, Manasses, Amon, Josias are not mere history but a map of consciousness: each king births the next by what you assume in awareness. The Kingdom of God is the inner reign where the I AM governs through covenant loyalty to your true desires. When you permit fear, doubt, or lack to rule, the line may descend into a diminished state; you can rewrite it by revising upward, claiming a higher king and aligning every thought with love, clarity, and creative power. The verse reassures you that you are the parent and the child of your reality—present authority arises from past inner decisions, yet a higher king can be established now by faith in the I AM. Let the imagined lineage remind you that your life follows your inner decree and you can reign with quiet power in the present.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are the inner king now; feel the lineage of states rising from I AM into your day. Revise any lack by silently declaring, 'I am that I desire, now' until it feels real.
