Inner Tabernacle Reared
Exodus 40:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It records the tabernacle being completed and reared up on the first day of the first month in the second year.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's key, Exodus 40:17 is not about a desert polity but a shift of your inner state. The tabernacle's completion is the moment your awareness declares, 'I AM here,' and thus God becomes the tangible atmosphere of your days. The timetable—the first day of the first month in the second year—becomes a metaphor for a cleared mental season: you have allowed your former doubts, measured by time and distance, to pass away, and you have reared up a sanctuary of attention where I AM can dwell. The objects and rituals of the tabernacle represent inner dispositions: faith as the altar, obedience as the outer frame, loyalty to covenant as the pillar of fire within. When you imagine the tent rising, you are not picturing an external building but performing a revision in consciousness that makes your life reflect the divine order. The external world you call 'reality' is simply a mirror of the inside. Therefore, this verse invites you to complete your inner temple, feel the presence of God now, and trust that imagination creates the actuality.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, for five minutes, assume 'I AM' is erecting a sanctuary within your mind. Feel the temple rise in your inner weather and notice your days reflecting that peace.
