Gold of the Inner Temple
2 Chronicles 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon’s house is covered inside and out with gold, even the doors and walls. Cherubim are carved on the walls as sacred imagery.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awakened imagination, this verse is not about gold on stone but about the coating of your mind with the gold of awareness. The 'house' is your inner state; the 'beams, posts, walls, and doors' are the lines of your thinking and the doors through which life enters. Overlaying them with gold is an act of claiming a radiant atmosphere—an inner sanctuary prepared for the Presence. The cherubim carved on the walls symbolize inner faculties—guardians of imagination, wisdom, and adoration—that reside where you live in consciousness. When you assume that you are the I AM, you renovate the temple from within, making it a vessel for the divine Presence. The gilding invites you to saturate your entire mental environment with conviction that God dwells within. You do not beg for blessing; you clothe your mind with it by assumption, daily, until it animates your reactions and outer scenes. The doors are sealed with trust; fear dissolves as you dwell in the certainty of your own glorious, inner temple.
Practice This Now
Assume your inner temple is gilded with gold and cherubim guard the walls; feel this Presence in your breath for a minute.
