Temple Within: The Inner Construction

Haggai 1:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Haggai 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
Haggai 1:1-2

Biblical Context

The LORD speaks through Haggai to Zerubbabel and Joshua. The people claim that the time to rebuild the LORD’s house has not yet come.

Neville's Inner Vision

The word is the living command to your consciousness. When you hear 'This people say, The time is not come,' you are listening to a belief that delays the temple in your mind. The LORD of hosts stands for your I AM awareness, and the house to be built is the inner temple of consciousness—the state you continually inhabit. The message invites obedience and faithfulness: align your inner clock with the certainty that the temple exists already in you, not somewhere off in the future. Time becomes a function of your inner decision, not a calendar. If you insist that it is not yet time, you are admitting a separation between the manifested life and your true state. But the directive is simple: revise the belief, feel your temple complete now, and dwell there. As you persist in imagining the temple finished, your outer circumstances follow suit, mirroring your revised consciousness. The building is not imminent; it is inward, and by awakening to that truth, you are faithful to the highest measure of your being.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner temple is complete now; feel the presence as if the work is finished. Repeat 'the time is now' until your outer world reflects the inner completion.
