Inner Cherubim Temple Alignment

1 Kings 6:23-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 6 in context

Scripture Focus

23And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
24And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
1 Kings 6:23-28

Biblical Context

Solomon's inner sanctuary holds two olive-wood cherubim, ten cubits high, with wings reaching the walls and touching in the center, all overlaid with gold. The passage points to the Presence of God residing in the innermost chamber of the temple.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the oracle of your mind, the two cherubim are not carved images of distant ceremony but living states of awareness. They are made of olive wood, humble and alive, and overlaid with gold, showing that divine truth shines through your ordinary attention. As you stand in the inner chamber of consciousness, these cherubs embody the two facets of your focus: receptivity and ascent, attention and inspiration. Their wings reach toward the walls, marking boundaries of thought, and yet they touch one another in the center, symbolizing a harmonized center where opposition dissolves into one Presence. The command to place them in the inner house invites you to bring every strand of life into the sanctuary of awareness rather than seeking God only in ritual. The gold overlay declares: the I AM, the Presence, is already radiant within you, animating perception, feeling, and action. When you imagine this scene and feel its truth, you awaken to a wholeness where belief and experience become one, and your world begins to reflect the unity you hold in awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and visualize two olive-wood cherubim in your inner sanctuary, wings touching in the center. Feel the Presence as your awareness and declare, I AM here now, letting unity fill your thoughts.
