Gatekeepers of the Inner Tabernacle

1 Chronicles 9:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 9 in context

Scripture Focus

19And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
20And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
21And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
1 Chronicles 9:19-21

Biblical Context

Shallum and his Korahite kin guarded the tabernacle gates, linking gatekeeping with faithful service in worship. Their office echoes the rhythm of care over entry and presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines point to a life-long discipline: you are the gatekeeper of your own tabernacle, the keeper of entry into the innermost sanctuary of consciousness. The Korahite fidelity to service parallels your covenant to guard your attention, so that peaceful presence remains at the doors. Phinehas’ former rule signals that when the I AM is with you, authority and protection flow into your experiences. Zechariah, the porter at the door, reminds you that perception is selective; only what you consent to enters your world. Your current circumstances become signals of inner state, not random accidents. If you assume the stance of the gatekeeper and feel it real—imagine yourself standing at the inner doorway with the door held open by the divine current—you align with the Lord’s companionship in every moment. The transformation is practical: revise your state to one of stewardship, keep the gate with quiet authority, and let the divine presence govern the thresholds of thought.

Practice This Now

Sit in stillness and assume the role of the gatekeeper. Feel the door of your inner tabernacle in your hand; declare 'I AM the keeper; the Lord is with me' and imagine the door held steady by divine Presence.
