Inner Priesthood Lineage

Nehemiah 12:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 12 in context

Scripture Focus

10And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
11And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
Nehemiah 12:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage lists the succession of high priests from Jeshua to Jaddua: Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim begat Eliashib, Eliashib begat Joiada, Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses are not a record of distant events but a map of inner states. Jeshua is the awakening to the I AM, the pure consciousness that remains when attention rests in awareness. Joiakim, Eliashib, Joiada, Jonathan, and Jaddua represent successive faculties of mind—each birth moving you deeper into holiness and covenant loyalty. The genealogy becomes a meditation on how consciousness reproduces itself: every moment you imagine anew, you are birthing the next priestly state and shortening the distance to the I AM. The line of priesthood in your life is not external pedigree but your discipline to dwell in awareness, to separate from fear, to align with the covenant of right thinking. When you entertain this lineage in imagination, you affirm that your world is formed by your inner movements, not by outward circumstance. Therefore, trust that your present thoughts can be rewritten to reflect the loyalties of the priestly heart, and watch as the inner temple manifests holiness as your everyday life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and step into the inner line of priests; affirm you are Jaddua now, and let the I AM guide every thought.
