Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 7:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 7 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.

7Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

1 Kings 7:6-8

Biblical Context

Solomon builds a porch of judgment and a throne for ruling; the outer porch mirrors the inner threshold where authority and awareness meet. The inner court inside the temple echoes the same order of discernment and divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the scripture, the porch is not merely wood and stone; it is the state of consciousness at the border of belief and action. The throne for judgment marks the moment when you choose what to accept as real and what to dismiss. The cedar covering signifies the enduring, fragrant nature of divine awareness that clads every decision. When Solomon sits, the mind is invited to judge not by fear or need but from the I AM that stands behind every impression. The 'porch of judgment' is your present feeling-thought interface where images are chosen and cemented into fate by attention. The inner house and its court remind you that you do not passively receive life; you author it through the alignment of imagination and consciousness. Pharaoh's daughter’s house mirrors the adaptation of inner arrangements to relationships, yet all are but variations of the same inner temple where God dwells. Your kingdom is built within, and the outer acts reflect your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume you sit upon the inner throne now, feeling the cedar throne and declare, 'I am the ruler of my life.' Then revise any lack by sensing the I AM as the witness that makes it so.
