Inner Census and Presence
1 Chronicles 9:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a literal census of the Zerahite line: Jeuel and his brethren, six hundred ninety.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's cadence, the sons of Zerah become not a genealogical list but a map of what your awareness has named as real. The act of counting them is the mind’s habit of assessing which qualities you allow to define you and which you leave unclaimed. The number six hundred ninety marks a precise measure—not of history, but of how fully you attend to a portion of your being. When you regard God as the I AM, every counted trait becomes a decision you live in consciousness: presence, faithfulness, truth, and inner harmony. The census invites you to acknowledge order within, refusing chaos by naming your inner dispositions as already existing in God. In that moment you shift from external labels to becoming the very awareness that counts and approves what you are becoming. The verse nudges you to rest in the certainty that your inner ledger reflects truth when you align imagination with the I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine a ledger in your mind listing 690 units of divine presence, attention, and faithfulness. Then revise any doubt by affirming I am the I AM, counting, aligning, and cherishing all I am becoming through imagination.
