Biblical Context

Solomon raised a levy to fund the building project—both the LORD's house and his own fortifications.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 1 Kings 9:15 speaks to your inner life, not a page in history. The levy Solomon raised is the amount you are willing to invest in the building of the temple within. The house of the LORD is the sanctuary of awareness that you keep awake in the mind. The names Millo, Jerusalem's wall, Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer are not literal places but milestones in your consciousness—the guard posts you place around your attention to guard your peace and enable a clear, steady sense of being. Wealth and provision, in this reading, are the psychic energy that flows when you align thought with feeling and dare to inhabit the end already. True worship is not ritual but the sensation that you are already in possession of the temple you seek: the Presence of God as I AM, the inner I that remains when outer appearances shift. If you are tempted by lack, revise your assumption: you already have the frame built; all you need do is feel, in imagination, that the walls are complete and the city alive within you.
