Inner Priesthood Unfolds
Hebrews 7:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hebrews 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hebrews 7:17 declares an eternal priesthood, established in the order of Melchisedec, not by lineage but by divine decree. It invites you to awaken your own inner priesthood.
Neville's Inner Vision
Hebrews 7:17 speaks not of a distant priesthood but of a timeless order within your own consciousness. The phrase Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec is a declaration of your I AM—abiding beyond time, and beyond outward institutions. Melchizedek stands as a symbol of right consciousness, the living realization that your natural state is holiness, sanctified by the immutable covenant between awareness and its content. When you hear this testimony, do not search for another priest outside you. Testimony in Scripture is psychological: the 'priest' is the function of the self that offers praise, gratitude, and alignment with God as awareness. If you imagine the eternal priest as separate from you, you have missed the point: you are the very priesthood, forever present as your own inner governor, keeping your covenant loyal to the I AM. Trust that this inner office sanctifies every moment, reconciles past and future, and brings salvation by awakening you to your own divine constitution.
Practice This Now
Assume the state now and declare, 'I am the eternal priest, forever in the order of Melchisedec.' Feel the timeless seal upon your heart and let that awareness guide your day.
