Pure Offerings, Inner Kingship

Malachi 1:11-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Malachi 1 in context

Scripture Focus

11For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
12But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
14But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Malachi 1:11-14

Biblical Context

God declares that His name will be great among the Gentiles and that offerings should be pure. Yet the people profane the altar by presenting torn, lame, and contemptible gifts and by calling worship weariness.

Neville's Inner Vision

All through Malachi, the inner heart learns what you have accepted into your temple. The 'name' that shall be great among the Gentiles is not a geographical fact; it is the realization that the I AM, your consciousness, cannot be diminished by beliefs of fatigue, offense, or ritual habit. When the priests lament the polluted table and offered torn and lame things, they reveal a decision about themselves: worship is something you do when it's convenient, not when it costs you your old image of self. Your inner temple must not be profaned by half-measures. The decree I am a Great King is your cue to rule as the sovereign I AM; to see every thought, motive, and offering as a pure act of worship. The heathen everywhere outside becomes just another aspect of your own mind awakening; bring a pure offering—a thought, a feeling, a choice—worthy of the King, and your name becomes dreadful to the old self that clings to limitation.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: I AM the Great King, and my name is revered within me. Feel a pure offering rising as a bright flame upon the altar of your consciousness.
