The East Sea Within
2 Chronicles 4:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse places the sea at the east end on the right, opposite the south. It reads as a symbol of ordered creation and deliberate inner placement.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner story, the 'he' who sets the sea is your higher I AM, the awareness that orders experience. The 'east end' is the point where light enters your consciousness; the 'right side' is a direction of authority you choose. The sea stands for the currents of feeling and belief that would rush in if left unchecked. By setting it on the right, you claim governance over those currents, directing them with purpose toward the light. The phrase 'over against the south' signals a conscious stand against the southern impulse—comfort, fear, habit—placing the organized energy of the sea in proper relation to it. As you practice this in imagination, you begin to see that your world responds to your inner arrangement. The outer scene conforms to the inner map because God is your I AM and imagination is the formative power. So you are not seeking control; you are aligning your inner vision with truth. The moment you assume this order and feel it as real, your life follows suit, revealing order, direction, and inspired movement.
Practice This Now
Practice: Close your eyes, recall the verse, and imagine placing a vast sea at the east end of your inner temple. Feel the current steady and the I AM directing it; silently affirm, I AM the ruler of my inner waters.
