Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 5:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 5 in context

Scripture Focus

11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:

12Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)

13It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

14So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

2 Chronicles 5:11-14

Biblical Context

As the priests and singers unite in praise, the temple is filled with a cloud of God's glory, revealing that true presence arises when inner worship becomes one.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the temple is your own consciousness and the assembled priests and singers are the faculties of awareness within you. Sanctified means you have purified attention, choosing to stand in a refined state of mind, not divided by old thoughts. When your inner voices join as one sound—your thoughts and feelings harmonized—the atmosphere shifts from ordinary thought to a singular vibration of gratitude: God is good; God’s mercy endures forever. The cloud that fills the house is the felt experience of the I AM, the presence of awareness saturating every corner of you. It is not an external event but the undeniable realization that the divine presence is within, filling your inner temple with glory. The effect is transformative: the impulse to perform or minister dissolves in the overwhelming sense of being present. The inner lesson remains simple: true worship is inward alignment. As you hold this inner posture, your surroundings reflect a unified, awakened state, confirming that the divine is waiting to be felt as your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume you are the sanctified temple. Align your thoughts and feelings as one chorus, and feel the cloud of divine presence descend as you affirm, I AM within me, filling this house.
