The Ivory Throne Within

1 Kings 10:18-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 10 in context

Scripture Focus

18Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
19The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
20And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
1 Kings 10:18-20

Biblical Context

Solomon's throne is described in grand material splendor—ivory overlaid with gold, six steps, and guarding lions—symbolizing royal power and unique authority.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the ivory throne as the seat of your I AM, the center from which all outward forms arise. The gold overlay is the radiance you wear when you claim your divine authority. The six steps mark the stages by which a man shifts his beliefs from doubt to conviction; each ascent lifts you higher into the rule of your inner kingdom. The round back of the throne reminds you that every assertion of power circles back to spacious awareness. The lions standing by the stays are the guarding faculties of perception, faithful to your decree; the twelve lions on the steps symbolize the twelve ways you govern, through thought, desire, memory, word, action, time, health, wealth, relationships, work, rest, service. There is no rival throne, for every outward event is only the mirror of your inner state. When you dwell as the I AM, when imagination is not a scene but a reality you inhabit, your world answers with the beauty and order born from that kingly consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM throne now; repeat 'I AM the King of my world' and feel the regal authority flowing through you, imagining the surrounding room responding with order and abundance.
