Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 29:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 29 in context

Scripture Focus

3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

4And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,

5And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

6For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

2 Chronicles 29:3-7

Biblical Context

In this passage, the temple doors are opened, priests are gathered, and there is a call to sanctify the holy place by removing filth and turning back to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner temple of your consciousness the doors swing open when you assume the state of I AM. I am not seeking change in the world outside but restoring the sanctuary within. When you heed the call to sanctify, you answer as the holy place, the dwelling of the I AM in which God rests. The filthiness is neglected thought—pictures of lack, fear, or separation—carried out of the mind by your determined focus. The lamps are the attention you turn toward truth; when you claim the lamps are lit, inner worship revives and gratitude rises as incense in your awareness. Past trespasses dissolve as you refuse to identify with them; you turn toward the divine habitation and the inner doors are unbarred again. This is not ritual for ritual’s sake but inner consecration that makes outward life flow from a sanctified heart.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the doors of your inner temple are wide open; sanctify yourself by declaring you are the dwelling of the I AM and feel the space light up with a felt sense of worship.
