Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 1:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

5Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

6And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

2 Chronicles 1:4-6

Biblical Context

Solomon and the people bring the ark to a tent in Jerusalem; a brass altar stands before the LORD; Solomon ascends to the altar and offers a thousand burnt offerings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your attention becomes Solomon’s ascent, your mind the congregation gathered before the Lord. The ark is the living awareness of God you carry from old beliefs into the promised sense of awareness. The brass altar is the place in your consciousness where you burn away the old self to be re-made in the image of your true self. As you 'seek unto' that altar, you turn your full attention toward the divine presence. When you 'go up' to the altar, you invite a higher state to envelop your mind, and the thousand offerings are the repeated acts of faith you offer to the one Power. Each offering consumes fear, doubt, and lack, leaving your mind clear and radiant. This stops being ritual and becomes a practical act of imagining your world as born from the I AM within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Practice: Assume you are now in the presence of God, and feel the inner ark settled in a tent of awareness within you. See yourself making a daily 'burnt offering' to the I AM by releasing one fear or limit and letting the fire of consciousness consume it.
