Gold Sanctuary Of The I AM

1 Kings 6:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 6 in context

Scripture Focus

20And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
1 Kings 6:20

Biblical Context

The verse describes a square inner sanctuary (the oracle) of twenty cubits in length, breadth, and height. It also notes the altar of cedar, overlaid with pure gold.

Neville's Inner Vision

On one level, the forepart of the temple is a state of consciousness you must dwell in; the exact dimensions speak not of stone but of the fixed boundary of your awareness. When you imagine the oracle as twenty cubits square in your mind, you declare that your inner sight is complete, balanced, and free from discord. The gold overlay is the quality of pure awareness—the I AM shining over every idea and impulse—covering the cedar altar, which represents your humble foundation in daily action. The cedar stands as a living memory of grounded service; gold covers it to show that even humble acts are consecrated by a fixed traffic of attention. Thus, worship is not ritual outside you but the steady alignment of your consciousness with the golden reality of the I AM. As you dwell there, you are in the Presence; your world reflects that fullness, and every event mirrors the sanctity of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state, 'I am the gold-covered sanctuary within,' for a minute; revise any fear by picturing it overlaid with pure gold and feel the I AM saturate your center.
