Inner Altar of EleloheIsrael
Genesis 33:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 33 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jacob erected an altar at the place and called it EleloheIsrael, marking a personal claim that God is the God of his inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Genesis 33:20, Jacob stops and raises an altar at a new threshold, naming it EleloheIsrael. This is not merely a stone monument but a mental act: he places the presence of the I Am at the center of his inner territory, affirming that the God of his being is the God of his life. In Neville’s language, the altar is a state of consciousness you can consciously erect wherever you stand. EleloheIsrael declares covenant loyalty: the One within me is not a distant deity but the governing reality of my inner nation—the people and purposes I inhabit. When you call the inner presence EleloheIsrael, you acknowledge that your awareness is the source of every experience; you align with faith and trust by treating God as immanent, not external. Such an act invites harmony between your desires and your true being, allowing the I Am to patrol as king over your thoughts, decisions, and relationships. The outer world then reflects this inner altar as evidence of a life lived under divine governance, where worship becomes practical alignment and manifestation.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and build an inner altar in your mind, naming it EleloheIsrael. Then declare, I AM God of Israel within me, feel the ruling presence steady your heart and guide your steps.
