Inner Temple Dedication

2 Chronicles 7:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context

Scripture Focus

5And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
2 Chronicles 7:5

Biblical Context

Solomon sacrifices many animals to dedicate the temple, symbolizing communal devotion and consecration of the house of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s offering is not merely wealth poured out; it is a visible symbol of a decision the mind makes to align itself with the eternal I AM. In Neville’s language, the quantity of the sacrifice points to the power of a state of consciousness you can choose and sustain. The temple stands for your inner altar—the place where God’s presence dwells as awareness. When the people dedicate the house, they enact the inner alignment by drawing attention to that reality until it becomes the felt atmosphere of their days. Your understanding is that outer events respond to your inner assumption; the massive rite becomes a metaphor for the relentless faith you cultivate in your own I AM. Begin by assuming you are already the temple, that the house is complete, and that every room of your life reflects this truth. As you persist, you will find your surroundings take on the tone of this inner conviction, and life will reorganize to match the temple you have consciously built.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and imagine your inner temple fully established; feel God’s presence as your ongoing awareness, and affirm, 'I am the I AM.'
