Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 6:40-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 6 in context

Scripture Focus

40Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

41Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

42O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

2 Chronicles 6:40-42

Biblical Context

The passage is a heartfelt petition for God’s attentive presence in the temple, for empowerment of the priests with salvation, and for mercies remembered toward David’s servant. It frames divine presence and mercy as the foundation of salvation.

Neville's Inner Vision

View the temple in this verse as your own consciousness and the open eyes and attentive ears as the willingness of awareness to hear the prayer you are living. The rising of the LORD into his resting place and the ark of strength describes the I AM ascending to dwell within you, the throne of power you call forth by feeling and belief. When the priests are clothed with salvation, it is your faculties—your thoughts, judgments, and habits—arrayed in the robe of realized redemption. The saints rejoicing in goodness are the states of harmony your mind experiences when aligned with inner truth. The demand, turn not away the face of thine anointed, becomes a promise you make to your own essential self not to neglect the anointed I AM. Remembering the mercies of David is memory of grace already given, stored in your living consciousness. So sit in quiet assurance: the temple is established, the I AM listens, and salvation is already worn as your reality. Let this inner architecture govern your day, and observe outer events answer to your revised state.

Practice This Now

Assume the temple is already built; feel I AM awake, my eyes open, my ears attentive, and the ark of strength resting within. Let salvation clothe my inner priests and mercy guide my day as proof that the prayer is answered.
