Read 1 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

20And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.

1 Kings 7:19-20

Biblical Context

The passage describes ornate chapiters on temple pillars—lilies on the cap and pomegranates around the other cap—symbolizing beauty, order, and life within true worship. It points to inner states crowned by awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this scene as a map of your inner temple. The chapiters atop the pillars crown space with light, signaling that awareness itself is the crown you wear. The lily-work speaks of purity—perception refined by the I AM—so thoughts fall away when you rest in that spotless knowing. The two pillars standing guard represent the two aspects of your nature—will and love—holding the crown steady at the porch of attention. The pomegranates on the second cap, arranged around the belly by the network, signify the fruits of imagination when you dwell in the I AM: abundant recognitions multiplying as you cast your intention outward in reverent feeling. The network is not a trap but a pattern your mind forms as you align belief with the truth that God is within. Presence is not distant; it is the I AM within, crowning your every experience. When you revise your habit of feeling and imagine from this crowned awareness, outer events mirror the inner order: worship becomes the natural life of the self in harmony, holiness, and abundance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Assume you are the cap atop an inner pillar; feel the lily-like purity of your awareness and the pomegranate fruits of your thoughts circling around in orderly rows. Rest in the conviction: I AM, and this I AM is creating my life now.
