Inner Covenant Gate Unveiled

1 Kings 9:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
1 Kings 9:6-7

Biblical Context

Turning away from God and worshipping other powers leads to exile from the land and the temple being cast out. Your life then becomes a proverb and byword among all peoples.

Neville's Inner Vision

When the text speaks of turning away from following me, see it as a map of your own inner weather. The exile and the casting out of the house are the consequences of shifting allegiance from the I AM to imagined powers outside you. The land is your present state of consciousness; the hallowed house is your inner altar, the point of alignment you have accepted as true. If you worship other gods—fears, lack, the need for approval—your inner order dissolves and your outer life will reflect that fracture, becoming a proverb and byword among those who know you only by your outward symptoms. Yet the text is not a threat but a call to awareness. The I AM is always present, not a distant judge but your own essential awareness. Return to that inner allegiance now. Accept the commandments written within you as your true door. In doing so, you reestablish the covenant and keep the temple intact in your mind, restoring a life that is steady, free, and luminous.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are aligned with the I AM and worship only truth within you. Revision: whenever lack or fear arises, declare I AM the source and feel that this inner covenant is already fulfilled.
