Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 9:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 9 in context

Scripture Focus

24But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

25And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

1 Kings 9:24-25

Biblical Context

Solomon completes the temple project by finishing the house and altar, while offering regularly to the LORD, signaling the inner fulfillment of worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's outward completion mirrors an inner order of consciousness. Pharaoh's daughter entering his house symbolizes foreign images and impulses intruding upon the mind, yet the act of finishing the house and the altar before the LORD demonstrates that a steadfast inner state can be established. The altar before the LORD is the focal point of awareness where the I AM governs. The three offerings and the incense represent cycles of reaffirmation: burnt offerings denote surrender to the I AM, peace offerings express gratitude for alignment, and incense signifies the light and sweetness that arise when you dwell in that realized state. This is not merely a historical layout, but a demonstration that your consciousness can finalize the inner temple while external appearances persist. The temple is finished when the sense of the I AM becomes the texture of your daily life and governs your days from within.

Practice This Now

Assume right now: I am the temple; the house is finished and the altar before the LORD is lit. Feel the presence of the I AM fill you; with each breath, breathe the finished state into your day.
