Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 5:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

2And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

3Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

1 Kings 5:2-3

Biblical Context

Solomon sends word to Hiram noting that David couldn’t build a temple because wars surrounded him, until the LORD subdued them beneath his feet.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s voice: The text is not about geography but your inner state. Solomon represents your current state of conscious rulership, and Hiram is the ally you summon from your subconscious to furnish what your inner temple requires. The wars surrounding David are the restless thoughts and fears that keep you from dwelling in quiet power. When the LORD puts the enemies under the feet, it is a vivid image of dominion: you allow the movements of fear to move beneath, not to defeat you, but to be understood and redirected by awareness. The “house unto the name of the LORD” is the inner sanctuary where awareness asserts, through imagination, the reality you intend. Providence is not external fate but your own shifting relationship to attention—when you acknowledge the I AM as ruler, the supporting conditions appear, and the temple rises. Your present moment becomes the architecture of a new kingdom within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the inner king who has already built the temple. Feel the I AM securing the space with calm, and imagine supplying it with all you require; let that vision be real in your mind right now.
