Inner Tabernacle of Presence
Exodus 40:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 40 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Moses rears the tabernacle and sets its sockets, boards, bars, and pillars, then covers it as commanded. The scene documents obedience that points to an inner work: structure precedes presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text, the outer construction mirrors your inner life. The sockets, boards, bars and pillars are the mental fixtures by which you hold your sense of self together. To rear the tabernacle is to raise the I AM presence into a defined space where God may dwell. The tent spread and the covering overhead symbolize clothing your awareness with truth, creating a shelter where the divine can reside. The LORD's command to Moses embodies an inner law: align with that decree within, and the temple comes into being as a natural expression of your state. Obedience and faithfulness are not external ritual; they are your steadfast inner attitudes. When you persist in the feeling that you are already inside this temple, presence becomes palpable, and your world rearranges itself to reflect that inner sanctuary. The whole scene invites you to treat your imagination as the builder: by willing and assuming the inner structure, you invite the Presence to dwell.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already dwelling in the inner tabernacle. Feel the frame steady within your mind and rest in the conviction that God's presence resides here.
