Inner Feast of Dedication
2 Chronicles 7:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Solomon led a seven-day feast for Israel, uniting a very great congregation. On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly to dedicate the altar and continue the feast.
Neville's Inner Vision
Receive this as a psychological scripture: the feast is a seven-day, steady act of imagining, a sustained alignment with the I AM within. The great congregation represents the unity of all your faculties gathered in worship; from Hamath to the river of Egypt signifies the breadth of your inner world, from edge to edge, all thoughts and feelings drawn into harmony around your inner altar. The eighth day’s solemn assembly is not a future event but a revision of your present state—the altar is the fixed assumption of wholeness, the dedication a continuous decision that your awareness remains consecrated. In this view, the temple is you, the altar is your assumption of perfection, and the feast is the living gratitude and joy of standing in the I AM. When you dwell here, external events reorder to reflect this inner devotion.
Practice This Now
Assume now that you celebrate a seven-day inner feast of the I AM, and on the eighth day revise by declaring the altar dedicated and the feast ongoing, feeling it real.
