Orderly Inner Temple Service
2 Chronicles 31:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hezekiah assigns the courses of the priests and Levites to their appointed duties—ministry, thanksgiving, and praise at the LORD's gates. This reflects disciplined worship and covenant fidelity.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Hezekiah, outward order is a map of inward discipline. In Neville’s sense, the LORD is the I AM—your awareness awake—and the courses of the priests and Levites are the recurring faculties you marshal inside the temple. When you appoint them after their courses, you decide which states of consciousness shall minister to your heart. The priests who serve burnt offerings and peace offerings are your imaginal faculties, offering longing and attachment up as sacrifice and inviting harmony and release. The Levites who minister, give thanks, and praise are your attention, memory, and reverence, gathering consciousness at the gates and ushering a sense of sacred presence. The gates of the tents of the LORD symbolize the moment you align with a single, steady feeling: gratitude as the offering, praise as the seal, and the entire inner structure stands in the presence you call God—the I AM—by feeling it real. The practical implication: reorder your inner inhabitants in service to the good, and your days will echo the temple’s quiet order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, mentally appoint your mind’s faculties to their sacred duties, then feel gratitude rising as you inhabit the gates of your inner sanctuary.
