Temple Of Inner Rest

1 Chronicles 22:6-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 22 in context

Scripture Focus

6Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
7And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
8But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
1 Chronicles 22:6-10

Biblical Context

David planned a temple for the LORD, but God appoints Solomon as the rest-bringing king and promises an eternal throne. The inner lesson is that true sanctuary and peace arise from within, under the rulership of a divine king in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

This is not a decree about bricks and stones; it is the announcement of what you must entertain in your own consciousness. The word of the LORD comes to me—your inner I AM—and says: you have known wars, but now a time of rest is coming. A son is born within—the man of rest—Solomon—symbol of peace in the mind. I shall give him rest from all enemies round about, and I will establish his throne in my inner kingdom forever. When I recognize this inner sovereignty—the Father within, the son, the throne—I stop seeking security outside and allow the temple of awareness to align with the divine order. The kingdom of God is not a distant empire but the felt sense of order resting in my mind, forever.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the inner Solomon, the king of rest. Feel rest saturating every thought and declare, 'I AM the Father who rules within my kingdom.'
