Foundation of the Inner Temple

Ezra 3:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezra 3 in context

Scripture Focus

10And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
11And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
Ezra 3:10-11

Biblical Context

When the temple foundation is laid, the priests and Levites rise to praise, and all the people join in gratitude for God's enduring mercy. It points to your inner life: establish a solid inner foundation and let praise flow from consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the moment the foundation of your temple within is laid. The priests in their robes and the Levitical trumpets and cymbals are inner faculties: faith, attention, thanksgiving, and harmonious judgment moving in order, praising the Lord after the pattern already set by the great King within you. They sing by course, an aligned choir of your thoughts, praising because God is good, because His mercy endures toward you. The great shout you hear is the outward echo of your inward conviction: the foundation is laid; you stand upon a solid consciousness where presence, mercy, and kingship mingle. When you accept this as fact, you awaken a reality that was always yours, not earned. The temple is your life, and the Lord dwells there as I AM presence. Practice: assume you stand in this temple, feel the praise rising from within, and let gratitude and sense of permanence fill you. Then watch as the world reflects the foundation you've declared.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the foundation is laid within you; feel the gratitude rise as a sure trumpet-note, and declare, 'I am the temple; I dwell in presence now.'
