Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 13:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 13 in context

Scripture Focus

5So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

6And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

1 Chronicles 13:5-6

Biblical Context

David gathers all Israel to bring the ark, signaling a united sacred mission. The focus is on the ark as God's dwelling between the cherubim, a symbol of inner awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner David gathers the dispersed parts of your mind to bring forth the ark, the awareness of God that dwells between the cherubim. The act is not a geographic march, but a revision of your inner state: unite your thoughts, feelings, memories, and purposes under one intent, to conscious presence. The ark represents the I AM, your eternal, unchanging awareness, calling you to worship from that central seat rather than from ritual or fear. When you imagine the ark resting in your heart, you are aligning with covenant loyalty: you consent to act from the truth of who you are rather than from what seems to bind you. The journey from Kirjathjearim to Baalah is your ascent from limitation to elevated consciousness. True worship is inner acknowledgment and congruent feeling; the outer events of your life will echo this inner ark's dwelling. Trust that the presence of God is already within, awaiting your assumption.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the ark’s presence is already yours and dwelling within you. Gather your scattered thoughts into one center and feel the I AM illuminate your life.
