Building the Inner Temple

2 Chronicles 2:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
2And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
2 Chronicles 2:1-2

Biblical Context

Solomon determines to build a house for the LORD and for his kingdom, and then mobilizes a large workforce to bear burdens, quarry stone, and supervise the work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s outward plan to construct a temple is an inward drama: the “house for the name of the LORD” becomes the temple of awareness you are building in your own consciousness, while the “house for his kingdom” represents the government you establish over thoughts and appetites. The seventy thousand, eighty thousand, and three thousand six hundred symbolize inner faculties awakened to service—endurance under burden, the shaping of material belief, and the overseers who keep the inner order. When you align these energies under the I AM, you enact a kingdom governed by reverence and true worship, not by fear but by a clear, loving intention. Mobilizing labor mirrors your decision to employ every aspect of yourself in service to the inner temple. The temple’s completion is a present reality: you possess the authority to construct your life from within, and the outer world follows the inward decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and repeat softly, 'I AM building the inner temple now'; feel your inner kingdom taking form as you proceed through your day from that assurance.
