Temple Within: Measuring Faith

Revelation 11:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:1

Biblical Context

The verse shows an angel giving a reed to measure the temple, the altar, and those who worship there. It points to inner space and devotion as the sacred center.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the temple is your inner sanctuary, the current state of consciousness. The reed is not a tool for architecture but a pointer of attention—your awareness that determines what you allow to stand within you. Measuring the temple and the altar is an act of naming and acknowledging the conditions of your mind: what you esteem as sacred, what you heart reveres, and what comes forth as worship. The command to rise means awaken to the truth that you are the speaker and the house of God, that I AM awareness stands before you as your own consciousness. The worshippers are the movements of feeling, belief, and intention within. To measure them is to bring them into alignment with the divine presence, to separate what does not belong, not by judgment but by choosing the state you affirm. When you treat every inner state as a temple and every act of devotion as worship, you live from the end: you experience the presence of God within as your current reality, here and now.

Practice This Now

In your quiet moment, imagine holding a reed and stepping into the inner temple of your mind, measuring the altar of devotion. Repeat, I am the temple and I measure my worship with the I AM, and feel God's presence as real now.
