Inner Temple Craft
2 Chronicles 4:11-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text records Huram crafting the temple vessels and the carved pillars, completing the ceremonial furnishings for the house of the LORD. It emphasizes finished work, order, and beauty in sacred space.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this account, the outer craft of Huram is a mirror of your inner life. The pots, shovels, and basins are not metal and brass alone; they are the mental tools you prepare for worship—habits of attention, channels for feeling, vessels for belief. The two pillars and their chapiters symbolize fixed ideas that lift you into alignment with a larger order, while the wreaths and pomegranates reveal the fruits born of disciplined awareness. When Huram finishes the work for Solomon’s house, the temple becomes a living order within consciousness: a sanctuary where 'presence' is felt, not merely spoken. The brass shines as clarity of mind when your inner state is pure and reverent; the sea and twelve oxen beneath it indicate steady, nourishing currents of life that uphold your sanctuary. Holiness and separation are not severance from life but the consecration of attention to the God within. True worship, then, is the alignment of your inner dispositions with the I AM—your awareness as sole creator—so that the temple in you is complete and the Presence becomes tangible, inwardly witnessed as real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume you are the master craftsman of your inner sanctuary; picture the vessels and pillars gleaming with conscious life, and feel the assurance that the I AM within you has finished the work.
