Biblical Context
Exodus 36:23-26 describes the tabernacle's boards on the south and north sides, with forty silver sockets under the twenty boards on each side and two sockets under each board. It emphasizes stable form and deliberate separation within worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold the word not as lumber and hardware, but as the wardrobe of your mind. The twenty boards on the south and the twenty on the north are not physical planks but the fixed states of consciousness you consciously choose to hold in your inner sanctuary. The forty silver sockets under the boards are the anchoring beliefs that connect pattern to Presence; silver speaks of value, purity, and clear reflection, and each pair of sockets under a board is the double pledge that your thought and your feeling stay joined to the divine order. In Neville's light, the tabernacle is your moment-to-moment awareness where the Presence can dwell. The two tenons under each board symbolize the twofold alignment of inner faith and outward expression, imagination and action, idea and embodiment. The act of constructing and aligning these boards and sockets is covenant loyalty—the choice to honor the I AM within and permit no discord to fracture the structure. When you claim this inner architecture, the Presence of God is not distant; it is the unchanging I AM that you already are, and worship becomes the simple habit of living as that identity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine standing before your inner tabernacle; see the boards of your beliefs rise in quiet steadiness and the silver sockets anchoring them. Feel the I AM presence, revise any doubt, and declare, 'I am loyal to this Presence' until you feel it real.
