Forest of Cedar Within

1 Kings 7:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

2He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
1 Kings 7:2-3

Biblical Context

The passage describes the building of a cedar hall—the forest of Lebanon—with a precise plan: length 100 cubits, width 50, height 30, supported by four rows of cedar pillars and beams, covered above by cedar on forty-five pillars.

Neville's Inner Vision

The forest of Lebanon becomes your inner sanctuary, a state of consciousness you consciously build. The four rows of cedar pillars symbolize the four quarters of awareness you maintain; the cedar beams are your steady thoughts upholding action. The cedar covering above the beams signifies how your inner discipline clothes your outer life, while the eighty pillars (forty-five) show the recurring, ordered structure of attention across your faculties. By aligning covenant loyalty with the sense “I AM,” you inhabit holiness as ongoing presence, not a distant event. As you dwell in this inner temple, your relationships, work, and health reflect your inner architecture, and the outer world becomes the hall you have erected in consciousness. Persisting in this assumption shapes reality into a tangible sanctuary of peace and power.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Assume you are inside a cedar hall within your mind; declare, I am the temple. Silently revise one limitation by reconfiguring it as a supported beam of awareness and feel it real.
