Inner Kingdom Wedding Feast
Matthew 22:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus presents a parable: the kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepares a marriage feast for his son, inviting guests to partake in it.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville Goddard, the parable is a law of consciousness. The king stands for the I AM, the steadfast inner awareness within you; the son is the image of your deepest wish. The marriage feast symbolizes the harmonious union of belief and feeling—when imagination and state of mind align into one. The guests who refuse the call are not mere persons but your own beliefs and habits that resist awakening. The kingdom of heaven is not a distant country but an inner banquet already prepared in your mind. When you assume you are invited and present at the feast, you shift your inner state and thereby summon manifestations from the inner to the outer. The parable invites you to awaken to a new inner order, where the desired reality becomes your present awareness, and your life rearranges to reflect that inner glory. Embrace the feeling of the wish fulfilled and dwell there, for the feast awaits your inner consent.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture yourself seated at the king's table, tasting the feast as already yours; softly declare, "The kingdom of heaven is now my present awareness," and rest in that certainty.
