Tongues as Inner Sign

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 21 presents a law spoken through many voices: God speaks to this people with tongues of many lips, yet hearing remains unpersuaded. In Neville’s inner reading, the 'other tongues' are your myriad inner voices—the fears, memories, and stubborn beliefs that refuse the state you seek. Tongues serve as a sign to the doubting part of you: a signal that belief is still unsettled. When doubt dominates, the sign persists; when you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the sign shifts. Prophecy, however, belongs to the believing self—the you who has imagined and feels the end already here. Your imagination acts as the prophet, announcing the state as if it is done. The verse invites you to align your inner speech with faith; otherwise the sign remains, pointing to unbelief. Cultivate the inner witness, not argument; let I AM speak through your assumption until you awaken to the truth that you are God expressing itself.
