Inner Temple Construction

1 Kings 6:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
1 Kings 6:1-4

Biblical Context

This passage records the moment Solomon begins to build the LORD's temple, noting its dimensions, porch, and windows.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s temple is your inner sanctuary, not a stone house alone. The centuries and the months in the text become markers of your readiness. The four hundred eighty years away from Egypt mirror the long habit of belief in separation; the fourth year marks a new decision to set up an altar within. The house’s measured length, breadth, and height correspond to the clarity you permit your attention to dwell in the I AM. The porch represents the threshold you cross when you worship in spirit and truth; the windows of narrow lights are your limited perceptions opening to a single light: the light of God within you. As you imagine the temple, you are the builder and the worshiper; your intention shapes form, and your feeling of reverent presence makes it real. The covenant to loyalty is a pledge to the presence within, not external rites. Begin now: construct the inner temple by imagining it, then dwell there in the felt reality of I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine standing inside your inner temple, sensing the light from the windows filling the space. Feel and declare, I am dwelling in the presence of the LORD now, and let that feeling revise your sense of separation.
