Neville Goddard on Exodus 37:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 37 in context

Scripture Focus

7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

9And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

Exodus 37:7-9

Biblical Context

Two gold cherubim sit at the ends of the mercy seat, with wings spread above it and faces toward the mercy seat. They symbolize the sacred boundary and the Presence dwelling there.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scriptural scene, the cherubim are not distant ornaments but inner states of consciousness guarding the place where God is encountered. The mercy seat represents your own quiet awareness, the throne of I AM, where mercy and compassion flow when attention is rightly placed. The two cherubs, seen at the ends, point your focus inward—they are your lines of delineation separating fear from reverence and directing energy toward the central seat of awareness. When you imagine the wings spreading over the seat, you are learning to cover your own fragile thoughts with a steadier vibration, a posture of reverent stillness that allows Presence to descend. The faces turned toward the mercy seat encourage a disengagement from outward drama and an immediate alignment with the truth that God is within. Worship, then, is not a ritual of external acts but the felt reality of being consciously aware of I AM Presence. As you hold that awareness, mercy and compassion arise as natural expressions of the life you are imagining.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already conscious as I AM in the center of your chest. See two golden cherubim at the ends of your inner mercy seat, spread their wings, and feel the Presence resting there as you repeat 'I AM' and 'Presence is here' until it feels real.
