Scripture Focus

24After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

25And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

26And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

27And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.

Ezekiel 40:24-27

Biblical Context

Ezekiel describes coming to the southern gate with measured posts and arches, windows around the structure, seven steps ascending, and palm trees on the posts, then an inner gate into the southern court. The passage emphasizes precise dimensions and the sacred order of the temple’s approach.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the southern gate becomes your interior doorway to the Presence. The measured posts and arches are the exact boundaries you choose around a state of consciousness; they are not physical walls but the discipline of your awareness. The windows around the arches symbolize openings of attention through which light—awareness—enters when you permit it. The seven steps up represent the seven degrees of conscious ascent you rise through by persistently choosing the truth of I AM over limitation. Palm trees on the posts signify vitality and fruitfulness that bloom when your state is aligned with the divine order. The inner gate toward the south marks a sanctified space you can possess now within your own heart; the journey from gate to gate measures the circumference of your present awareness and invites you to dwell inside the Presence. Your task is to assume the Presence already; revise any lack, and feel the doorways of your mind opening to the light of God inside you.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively stand before your own inner doorway, see the posts, arches, and seven steps, and declare I AM Presence is here now; feel the sanctuary blooming within your consciousness.
