Read 2 Chronicles 9 in context

Scripture Focus

17Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

18And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:

19And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.

2 Chronicles 9:17-19

Biblical Context

Solomon’s throne is described in lavish detail—ivory, gold, six steps, a footstool, and lions—marking an unparalleled symbol of royal power. The passage highlights wealth, authority, and a perfected order that stands above every kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the throne as the seat of your own awareness. Ivory purity signifies clear perception; gold represents the radiance you overlay upon that perception by imagination. The six steps mark stages of rising conviction, each step strengthening your inner posture. The golden footstool fixes your stance, while the stays act as anchors to keep belief steady amid doubt. The two lions by the stays embody fearless vitality that accompanies deliberate inner rulership. The twelve lions on each side signal a wholeness of faculties supporting your ascent to sovereign consciousness. The king’s claim that none in any kingdom compares to this throne mirrors your own truth: the I AM is your inner monarch, and wealth, order, and reign flow from believing this reality. This is the inner Kingdom of God—a state of consciousness that manifests outer form as you inhabit it with certainty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and center on the I AM seated on your mental throne. Repeat, 'I AM sovereign over my thoughts and provision,' and allow the feeling of regal authority and abundance to flood your awareness as if it were real now.
