Inner Tabernacle Unfolds
Exodus 40:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses faithfully follows the LORD's commands, and the tabernacle is erected as commanded on the appointed day.
Neville's Inner Vision
See Moses as a symbol, a state of consciousness within you that heeds the inner I AM. When the LORD commands, you are commanded by the I AM, and your thoughts, feelings, and images follow without hesitation. The phrase Thus did Moses is the claim that your inner self performs every directive of the divine voice—not outward ritual, but inward alignment. The first month of the second year signals a fresh cycle in your own life: a decision to build the tabernacle of God within as the outer temple is raised. The rearing of the tabernacle is not a historical event alone; it is the moment your inner temple comes into being because you moved in harmony with the inner law. To be faithful is to keep faith with the covenant of your true self, letting presence manifest as you revise, assume, and feel the reality of that temple already standing in you. Obedience, then, is the practiced discipline by which God, the I AM, takes up residence in your daily experience.
Practice This Now
For two minutes, assume the inner command as if spoken by your I AM; see the tabernacle within you rising, feel its presence as a warm light, and affirm I am obedient to my inner Lord until it feels real.
