Inner Temple Treasury

2 Kings 12:9-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 12 in context

Scripture Focus

9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
10And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
11And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
12And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
2 Kings 12:9-12

Biblical Context

Jehoiada places a chest by the altar, the money is collected and counted, and it is entrusted to those who repair the temple—carpenters, masons, and builders. This passage models true worship as orderly stewardship of resources for a sacred task.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the temple is not a stone building alone but the living state of your consciousness. Jehoiada's chest stands at the entrance of the altar as a symbol of the inner treasury into which you place beliefs and intentions. The money poured into it represents the energy you allocate to your life. When the scribe and high priest seal and count the funds, you are auditing your inner state, recognizing what you truly value and are willing to invest in. The distribution to the workmen—carpenters, masons, and hewers of stone—corresponds to your inner faculties: shaping form, laying foundations, and repairing breaches in your spiritual house. The work they perform is the practical manifestation of vision becoming reality. If you trust this inward economy, you repair the breaches of limitation, fear, or neglect by consistent action and mindful provision. Here, true worship is not ritual alone but a disciplined investment of awareness—giving energy to what you intend, and allowing imagination to express it as experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and visualize a chest at the doorway of your mind. Place your daily energy, time, and resources into it, then declare, I AM the steward of this temple, and I allocate to its repair now.
