Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 5:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

8For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

2 Chronicles 5:7-8

Biblical Context

The priests carry the ark into the most holy place, symbolizing the ark entering the center of your being; this marks the inner covenant where the divine presence resides.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the ark is your I AM—the living idea of you as awareness, not a relic in a box. The priests are your disciplined thoughts, quietly bringing this sovereign presence into the oracle of your house—the most holy place. The wings of the cherubim are the protective movements of imagination, spanning over the sacred idea to guard it from doubt. When the ark rests beneath those wings, you enact the covenant that you are God-aware, not separated from the source of life. The staves of the ark represent the supports of belief—the invisible structures that keep this awareness intact above the ordinary mind. This is a call to revision: if you feel distance from God, revise your inner state to declare, I am that Presence now, I stand within the temple of my own being. Practice: in a moment of stillness, assume the ark is already placed in your inner sanctuary and feel the Presence saturate every corner of you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are carrying the ark into the inner sanctuary, feeling the cherubim wings enveloping you. Rest there and declare I AM, letting the Presence become your everyday state.
