Inner Temple Measure Insight
Revelation 11:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Revelation 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage commands measurement of the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there, while the outer court is left unmeasured; the holy city will be trodden by Gentiles for forty-two months.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s cadence, the temple of God is your present awareness. The reed is your finger of attention, the act of measuring is the decision to acknowledge what you consciously inhabit. When you attend to the altar and those who worship therein, you are naming the movements of your inner devotion: worship is not external ritual but the attention that reveres the I AM. The court outside, unmeasured, represents the surface world of habit and projection—the left-out portion you have not claimed as part of your true state. The Gentiles and their tread symbolize the unconscious patterns that press against your inner city as long as you identify with lack or separation. The forty-two months mark a phase of testing in your imagination, a belief in time-bound limitation. By turning your gaze inward and declaring, in spirit, that the temple and its worship are already complete within, you reverse the influence of the unmeasured outer realm. Your consciousness becomes the holy city, and the period of constraint dissolves as you abide in I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine you stand inside the temple, holding a reed, measuring the inner space; say softly, 'I am the temple of God; I measure only what I worship within,' and remain there for a few minutes, feeling the presence as real.
