Inner Altar of Ezekiel 43:13-17

Ezekiel 43:13-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 43 in context

Scripture Focus

13And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
14And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
15So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
16And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
17And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:13-17

Biblical Context

The verses spell out the altar's exact measurements—base, border, height, horns, and the long and wide steps—establishing a precise, sacred order for the tabernacle altar. They also announce that the space is designed to honor holiness and the Presence of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the altar is not stone but awareness. Ezekiel’s measurements speak to the exactness with which you raise your state of consciousness. The bottom cubit, the edge-bound border, and the round edge mark the safe perimeter you set around your feeling and story. The higher place of the altar is your ascent into a clearer, more steadfast attention. From the ground to the lower settle two cubits; from the lesser to the greater settle four cubits; the ascent mirrors your rise from condition to consciousness fulfilled. The four horns on the altar symbolize the four powers of manifestation you command beneath the Presence: attention, belief, longing, and action aligned with I AM. The altar shall be twelve cubits long and broad, square in the four squares—unity, balance, and wholeness under your innermost God-present. The settle and border, with a half-cubit border and a one-cubit bottom, teach you to fence your worship with discipline and reverence, while the stairs look toward the east, guiding your gaze to the source. By fashioning this inner altar in imagination, you consecrate every moment to true worship and to the Presence within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the architect of your inner temple and place the altar within your consciousness with its exact boundaries. Then revise any sense of lack by affirming The Presence is here now, and feel it as real.
