Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 28:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 28 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

7Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

1 Chronicles 28:6-7

Biblical Context

God says Solomon will build the temple and be chosen as son. He promises an eternal kingdom if Solomon remains constant to the commandments and judgments.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's outward project of building a house stands for your inner act of constructing a sacred dwelling in consciousness. The speaker calls Solomon, and by extension you, to recognize that the self you name I AM has already been chosen to steward this holy space. The conditional promise—that the kingdom will endure if he remains constant to do the commandments and judgments—is the working law of your inner state: consistency in living by divine principles. The phrase as at this day grounds you in the present, inviting you to revise right now and see that the temple is already begun within. In Neville's terms, the kingdom is an enduring state of awareness secured by the steady practice of the laws as you live them in imagination. Your imagination is the architect; your thoughts and feelings align to the commandments, forming a durable government of peace and power within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the chosen builder of God's house within. Feel I AM affirming you, and declare today that you will live by divine commandments, letting this fidelity govern your moment-to-moment awareness.
