Read Ezekiel 40 in context

Scripture Focus

48And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.

Ezekiel 40:48-49

Biblical Context

The vision brings Ezekiel to the temple porch and measures its posts, gate, and steps, signaling the threshold of holy encounter.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you stand is your temple, and the porch is the doorway of awareness. Ezekiel is shown a precise architecture not for external ritual but to reveal your inner order. The measured posts and the symmetrical gate remind you that access to the Presence is a matter of deliberate alignment of your states of consciousness. The five-cubit posts on each side symbolize fixed points of attention you choose to support your vision; the three-cubit gate on both sides marks the narrowing you pass through with balance and humility. The porch's length and breadth delineate the space you grant to acknowledge, feel, and dwell in the Divine in the now. The steps are the gradual elevations of imagination—tiny, faithful movements of feeling that lift your awareness toward holiness. The pillars by the posts are your beliefs—whether they hold or hinder your worship. Align them to harmony, and the indwelling I AM becomes your immediate, living Presence here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Stand before the inner porch in your imagination and declare, I AM the temple of God now; feel the space widening as you revise one limiting belief so your entrance is unimpeded.
