Neville Goddard on Hebrews 9:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 9 in context

Scripture Focus

9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Hebrews 9:9-11

Biblical Context

The passage shows the old system as a shadow and a set of external rites. It asserts that true purification comes by the inner sanctuary Christ embodies.

Neville's Inner Vision

The scripture is not history, but your present inner life. The old ritual, with its gifts and washings, is a figure pointing to how consciousness looks through external acts for acceptance. But in truth the only altar is the I AM within, the high priest of good things to come. Christ’s coming is your own awakening to a tabernacle not built with hands, a sanctuary formed by awareness and imagination. When you imagine, you do not change the past; you change your present belief about who you are. The time of reformation is not a date but a shift in your mind from dependence on externals to reliance on the living God within you—the I AM. Conscience is clarified not by law but by the realization that you are already the new covenant in action. Your mind, rightly exercised, could in an instant reframe any old ritual as a shadow and step into the reality that the only temple is your consciousness. The inner priesthood operates now; embrace it, and your world reflects the reform.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, enter the inner sanctuary, and assume the state I AM as your high priest. Feel the conscience clarified as you revise lack into present abundance.
