Inner Forerunner Priesthood
Hebrews 6:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hebrews 6:20 declares that Jesus, the forerunner, has entered the heavenly sanctuary as eternal high priest, in the order of Melchizedek. It points to an inner reality: a priestly, unending presence within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville vantage, this verse speaks not of history but of your inner state. The 'forerunner' is the leading movement of consciousness that has already crossed into the sanctuary of awareness. Jesus represents your higher self—the I AM that precedes you into the secret place. The phrase 'made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec' signals a priesthood untied to ancestry, rooted in timeless consciousness. Melchizedek symbolizes the unconditional, boundless nature of God, inviting you to recognize that your covenant with truth is inherent, not earned. Your salvation unfolds as a restructuring of imagination: from a dream of separation to the unity of the one I AM, and forgiveness becomes self-recognition rather than an external act. The movement described is your own inner movement—standing in the reality of I AM and letting that permanence govern your experience, until the ordinary yields to the miraculous. When you dwell there, life aligns with the eternal priest presence, and redemption becomes present tense rather than distant future hope.
Practice This Now
Assume you have already entered the inner sanctuary as the I AM. Sit in that awareness, feel the forerunner's advance, and declare quietly: I am the eternal high priest here and now.
