Inner Priesthood and Covenant
2 Chronicles 13:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage contrasts Judah's orderly, true worship with others who appoint priests for gods of other lands, affirming that the LORD is their God and that the Levitical priests serve faithfully; it ends by highlighting daily, orderly worship as keeping the covenant.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the real drama is within your own consciousness. The priests, whether called from Aaron’s line or from the nations, symbolize the faculties you appoint to govern your awareness. When you declare, 'the LORD is our God,' you are not recounting a history but affirming a present alignment with I AM. The outward rites—morning and evening offerings, incense, showbread, and the golden lamp—are inner equivalents for steady thought, disciplined feeling, and clear intention. The contrast with those who worship other gods becomes a reminder: you can employ external rituals to quiet a restless mind, or you can establish a covenant within, keeping the inner priesthood vigilant and faithful. The true priests wait upon their duty, which is to maintain order and devotion in your temple. If you dwell in this inner loyalty, you awaken the power of imagination to actualize a life that mirrors covenant and fidelity to the I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the true priest within: say, 'The LORD is my God' and feel the inner temple aligning; for the next few minutes, imagine your thoughts and feelings are daily offerings kept in order by the inner ministers.
