Nob Within: Priesthood Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

Reviewing 1 Samuel 22:19, I see an arresting image of the old conscious state being dissolved. Nob, the inner city of priests, represents your temple of perception—your beliefs about who you are and what you can do when you serve the living I AM. Saul's sword is the judgment that cuts away old identities and loyalties, the moment when you discredit or eject parts of your former self that no longer serve your higher purpose. In Neville fashion, this destruction is not vengeance but a clearing of space for a more intimate alignment with your true royalty. When you refuse to identify with that old city, when you stop acting as if your power rests in external rulers, you invoke the inner priesthood that lives within—the I AM within. The inner temple survives not by force but by a conscious revision: you declare that you are the Lord of your consciousness, and that your awareness now nourishes justice and righteousness. The effect is not punishment but rebirth: a fresh ministerial order within you that commands your world with mercy and truth.
