Inner Temple Foundations
2 Chronicles 3:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon begins to build the LORD's temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, at the place where God appeared to David at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Neville's Inner Vision
Solomon’s act to begin building the temple is your decision to establish a fixed point of awareness in the center of your life. Mount Moriah becomes not a hill in a distant land but the mental height where you rise in imagination to the I AM. The LORD appearing to David at the threshing floor signals the moment consciousness separates from mere noise and remembers its true ground. The threshing floor is the clearing of beliefs, the separation of chaff from grain, a mental ground prepared for sacred use. Ornan the Jebusite’s place stands for your own soil—the foundation you choose to consecrate by decision and feeling. When you begin construction, you are not building a temple of bricks, but inviting a consistent atmosphere of divine Presence that governs thoughts, feelings, and actions. True worship then is not ritual alone but a settled awareness of being loved, watched, and guided from within. Holiness and separation occur as you refuse to let fear and noise claim the center; you dedicate it to the I AM and dwell there, softly, steadily, as the temple of God in the now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume you are already dwelling within the inner temple. Visualize laying the foundation stone on Mount Moriah, feel the Presence filling the space, and affirm, 'I am the temple of the living God.' Carry this feeling into the next hour.
