2 Chronicles 3:7-10

Biblical Context

The passage describes Solomon overlaying the temple with gold and adornments, emphasizing a sacred inner dwelling, the most holy place, and the presence of divine beings within the walls.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Chronicles’ temple, outer form remains a mirror of your inner state. The gold laid upon every beam, wall, and door is not metal but your belief made visible, the assurance that awareness itself is rich with divine substance. The cherubim etched on the walls are not distant statues; they are the two living images of your mind—praise and stillness, activity and quiet—guarding the sacred interval of attention where the holy Presence dwells. When you imagine the most holy place as twenty by twenty cubits, you are naming the perfectly bounded field of your consciousness, a space you fill with gold by your assumption and the felt reality of it. The weight of nails and the upper chambers overlaying with gold signify that even the smallest details of your life become portals for God when you inhabit them with the awareness of I AM. The two cherubims in the inner chamber symbolize receptivity and discernment, now unified by your steady belief in divine sonship here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the temple of God within me, then feel the gold of awareness saturate every part of your inner house and let the presence become your dominant mood.
