In the Bible, the two mighty pillars Jachin and Boaz stand at the entrance of Solomon’s Temple. According to Neville Goddard, they symbolise the dual process of manifestation:
-
Jachin (“He will establish”) represents the inner assumption—the belief that your desire is already fulfilled.
-
Boaz (“In him is strength”) represents the outer expression—the power of imagination to bring that assumption into reality.
These pillars form the gateway—the Temple’s porch—that leads from unseen faith to seen fulfilment.
The Veil of the Temple
Immediately behind Jachin and Boaz hung the veil, separating the Holy Place (our conscious mind) from the Holy of Holies (our subconscious).
When Christ declared, “The veil was torn in two” (Mark 15:38), Neville saw this as the final removal of doubt—no barrier remains between assumption (Jachin) and manifestation (Boaz).
The Porch of Solomon’s Temple: A Gateway to Manifestation
The porch marks the threshold where your internal belief meets external form.
As you pass between Jachin and Boaz, you symbolically move from:
-
Faith – imagination held in the mind
-
Strength – imagination made real in the world
The Ark of the Covenant
Beyond the veil stood the Ark—containing the law, Aaron’s rod, and manna (Exodus 25:21–22).
Neville taught that the Ark represents our subconscious store of divine ideas.
Above it hovered the cherubim (imagination) overshadowing the “mercy seat” (the feeling of the wish fulfilled).
Jachin and Boaz usher us into that sacred “I AM” space.
The Dual Process of Manifestation
-
Jachin: Establish your inner assumption—“I AM already that which you desire.”
-
Boaz: Harness the strength of imagination to bring it into form.
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead” (James 2:17) reminds us that both pillars—faith (Jachin) and works (Boaz)—must stand together.
The Golden Lampstand (Menorah)
In the Holy Place stood the seven‑branched menorah (Exodus 25:31).
Neville likened this lampstand to the illumination of our inner world—the seven facets of imagination lighting our path.
Just as the menorah burned within the Temple, our imagination must shine from within to manifest our desires.
Conclusion: Passing Through the Porch
Jachin and Boaz, flanking the porch of Solomon’s Temple, crystallise Neville Goddard’s core teaching:
Assumption (faith) must be met with imagination in action (strength) for true creation to occur.
As you step between these symbolic pillars, remember that your inner world of “I AM” is the very gateway to the world you wish to see.
