Temple Within: The Inner Renewal

Haggai 2:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Haggai 2 in context

Scripture Focus

15And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
Haggai 2:15-17

Biblical Context

From this day you are asked to audit the foundation laid and the harvest you have received; it then calls you to turn to the LORD as the path to renewal. This is framed as accountability leading to repentance and restored obedience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this text is a map of your inner weather. When you, the I AM, neglect the foundation of your temple, you measure out scarce yields—the twenty becomes ten, the fifty jars yield twenty—because your consciousness has turned from the field of abundance to lack. The blasts of mildew and hail are not punitive weather; they are the inner motions of a mind that has not aligned with me. The command from this day invites a decisive shift: lay a stone upon a stone in the temple of consciousness and declare that you are rebuilt. Do not look for punishment outside; see this as the invitation to rebuild your inner state. When you truly assume the finished temple in mind and feel it real, you awaken to renewal. Your actions then issue from that completed state, and outer conditions begin to reflect your inner construction. This is not judgment to oppress you but the mercy of awakening: a new creation arising in your consciousness, transforming time and economy into feeling, imagination, and reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, revise the scene inwardly by stating that from this day you lay the foundation stone in your temple now and that I AM abundance is your present reality. Then feel the temple complete and let renewal become your real present experience.
