Inner Lineage to Inner Kingdom
Ruth 4:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse recounts a line of generations ending with David: Salmon begat Boaz, Boaz begat Obed, Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of the names Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, and David not as distant relatives in a dusty scroll, but as currents of consciousness moving within you. In this light, Ruth’s closing genealogy becomes a map of your inner state: each “begat” is a pivot of awareness, a choice by the I AM to manifest a new term of life. The I AM is the one who notices and remains loyal to the covenant of truth; when you refuse to identify with lack and align with your true ruler, the promised David awakens in your mind as the kingly order of your day. This is not about history but about possibility—an inner monarchy that governs thoughts, feelings, and relationships. The lineage shows that your present condition grows from prior states, sweetened by loyalty to the inner law. When you practice covenant fidelity—accepting, imagining, and feeling as if this kingly state already stands—you activate the seed that time itself will call forth as outer circumstance. The verse invites you to recognize that the kingdom is not future but within, patiently waiting to be born through your continued faith.
Practice This Now
Practically, close your eyes and assume the feeling of ruling your day from the I AM. Say, 'I am the David now,' and dwell in that kingly sense for five minutes, revising any doubt into loyalty to your inner law.
