Face to Face With God Within

Exodus 33:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 33 in context

Scripture Focus

9And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
10And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
11And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
Exodus 33:9-11

Biblical Context

Moses enters the tabernacle as the cloudy pillar descends and God speaks with him as a friend. The people witness this interior moment from their tents and Joshua remains with the sanctuary.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, the tabernacle is your inner sanctuary and the cloudy pillar is the rising awareness that you exist. When Moses steps inside, consciousness descends as a tangible Presence, standing at the doorway as the I AM settles into your field of attention. The speech 'face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend' is not a distant event but your own internal conversation—awareness speaking to awareness, friend to friend. The outer throng, rising to worship from their tents, represents every external influence that calls you to seek power outside instead of within. Joshua remaining in the tabernacle mirrors the steadfast faculty of faith and presence that refuses to abandon the sanctuary when the world calls. This story shows that true worship is the recognition and ongoing dialogue with the I AM within, a covenant loyalty proven by daily attentiveness. The prophecy and promise come forth when you treat awareness as the intimate companion of your life; God is not apart from you but the I AM you already are, awakening your world through your inner state.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, enter your inner tabernacle, and assume you are already conversing with your I AM. Stay with that felt dialogue for a few minutes, letting your identity revise into the I AM's likeness.
