Destruction to Inner Temple Renewal
Luke 21:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage foresees a day when the physical temple will be dismantled, symbolizing the collapse of outward structures. It points to an inner renewal that must occur as consciousness shifts.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold, dear one, the 'days' spoken of are not lunar dates but states of consciousness occurring now. The temple’s stones are not bricks but beliefs and identifications you have placed upon safety, belonging, and worth. When the outer symbol is shown as vanishing—when one stone upon another is cast down—it is not catastrophe but a merciful clearing of the mental attic. In Neville fashion, I tell you: your God, your I AM, is not housed in a building of stone but in the inside vastness of awareness. What seems to fall away is the old recognition of self as separate from the whole. The destruction makes space for a remembrance that you are the very consciousness that holds the scene; the temple crumbles so the new inner sanctuary can be revealed. Your attention is the mortar; your belief is the stone; and the day comes when you behold that the I AM is the foundation that never falls. Thus the prophecy becomes a call to awaken to the reality that you are the builder and the building in one.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close your eyes, repeat 'I AM' as the sole reality, and imagine the old temple stones dissolving. Then feel the I AM rebuilding your inner sanctuary of consciousness, right now.
