Dwelling With Brethren In Jerusalem
1 Chronicles 8:32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse simply notes Mikloth's lineage and that his people dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, face-to-face with their neighbors.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the field of your inner life, Mikloth represents a continuous stream of consciousness—the habit patterns and loyalties you have accepted as real. Shimeah is a new aspect arising within that stream, a fresh facet of your I AM that desires connection and continuity. The line dwelling with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against them, is a symbolic image of your inner community gathered in the city of peace. Jerusalem is not a place on a map but a state of awareness where all the parts of you are seen, named, and harmonized. To dwell there “over against them” is to meet every inner opposition with the settled presence of your center—your God-likeness—so that division yields to unity. When you imagine Mikloth’s folk living among their kin, you are rehearsing that your thoughts, words, and desires belong to a single household within the I AM. In this light, the presence of God is the quiet, knowing witness that holds your inner city together, allowing every voice to play its proper part.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner scene now: Mikloth’s line and Shimeah dwelling with their brethren in Jerusalem within your consciousness. Feel the unity as the I AM holds each voice in harmony, and revise any sense of separation by affirming, I am all of this, and this city is my peace.
