Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 35:2-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 35 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,

3And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

4And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

5And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

2 Chronicles 35:2-5

Biblical Context

Josiah sets the priests and Levites in their charges and asks them to place the ark in the temple Solomon built, so they may serve the LORD and Israel. He instructs them to prepare according to the families and divisions of the Levi tes, standing in the holy place.

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture is a portrait of consciousness. The ark is the indwelling Presence, the temple the state of awareness, and the priests and Levites are the faculties we marshal in service to the I AM. When the king commands, it is not an external itinerary but a mental arrangement: place the ark within the house you inhabit—your own mind’s temple—so that the Presence can move unburdened. The line 'it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders' whispers to you that true service flows when you acknowledge your spiritual center as already established, not something you carry by effort. The divisions of David and Solomon become the divisions of your own mind—the will, the imagination, the feeling nature, the perception—each assigned to its proper house, each prepared by the memory of what you have learned in former states. Stand in the holy place by aligning these faculties in divine order. Then you serve the LORD your God and His people not as an outward ritual, but as the natural activity of your inner presence, which holds the world together.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the posture of the temple’s guardian priest; declare, 'I am the LORD my God' and place the ark of Presence within your heart. Feel the burden lift as you align your inner faculties to serve your higher self.
