Inner Priesthood Shift
1 Chronicles 24:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nadab and Abihu died before their father and left no heirs; Eleazar and Ithamar carried forward the priestly office.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Nadab and Abihu as those youthful, impulsive states that would rush to function without fatherly guidance. Their death before their father signals that certain energies have exhausted their usefulness and must yield to a higher order. Eleazar and Ithamar—the faithful faculties of perception, obedience, and service—are the ones who can rightly execute the priestly office. In your inner temple, the office of priest corresponds to ruling awareness—the I AM—that orders thoughts, feelings, and choices. When the old states die off, this inner governor steps in and the world you experience begins to reflect that disciplined sovereignty. It is not vengeance, but natural law: you cannot house a truthful function while misaligned with the higher self. Therefore, revise your inner state by assuming that the rightful heir has taken charge. Celebrate the succession as the natural expression of your consciousness, and feel the I AM directing your work, your relationships, and your daily routine with calm, faithful authority.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, revise by assuming, 'I am the priestly office now; the old, unfruitful state dies and Eleazar/Ithamar govern my inner work.' Then visualize them stepping forward and organizing my day with order.
