Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 29:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 29 in context

Scripture Focus

1Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

2Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

3Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

4Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:

5The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?

6Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,

7And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

1 Chronicles 29:1-7

Biblical Context

David mobilizes wealth and willing leaders to supply the temple for the LORD; the passage shows generous devotion to the sacred house.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, this scene is an inner-state parable. David’s outward preparations mirror how you arm your mind with images, feelings, and beliefs to sustain a desired life. The palace for the LORD God signifies the inner kingdom your awareness serves when you refuse to settle for less than fullness. The metals and stones stand for your faculties—desire, imagination, order, gratitude—overlaid with steadfast intention until the walls of your life reflect glory. Solomon, young and tender, represents a new image of yourself chosen by your I AM, even if your present self feels incomplete. The line 'the work is great' invites you to acknowledge the magnitude of the inner construction your dream requires. You set your affection on the house of your God and give from your own goods; this mirrors the revision and felt-sense of resources available to support the new state. When the leaders and people offer willingly, consciousness aligns as one mind toward realization—your inner council agreeing, making the dream tangible.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the temple of God; I willingly consecrate my service to the LORD within. Then picture gold, silver, and precious stones being laid on the inner walls of this temple, and feel the abundance as already mine, now.
