Jerusalem Within: Rest in God

1 Chronicles 23:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 23 in context

Scripture Focus

25For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
1 Chronicles 23:25

Biblical Context

David proclaims that God has given rest to His people so they may dwell in Jerusalem forever. The verse presents rest as a lasting divine favor and dwelling place.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Chronicles moment, rest is not merely a historical condition but a state of consciousness. Neville would translate the outward city into your inner sense of Self—the I AM—resting in God’s perpetual presence. The people’s dwelling becomes your inner alignment, an unshaken, eternal city within that remains regardless of external events. The promise of forever dwelling is then your assurance that your awareness already resides in the Kingdom—peaceful, loyal, and present. When you accept rest as your own reality, you revoke the need to chase outcomes or fear loss; you revise lack by affirming a completed state. Peace, covenant loyalty, and the consciousness of God’s presence arise as natural faculties of your being, not as distant blessings. Each moment of quiet alignment with the I AM confirms that the Kingdom is within, enduring and untroubled by appearances.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively affirm: I AM dwells in me, I dwell in the I AM, and the inner Jerusalem rests forever within. Sit quietly, feel the stillness, and let this awareness become your habitual state.
