Inner Suffering, Divine Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the text as a map of the inner theatre. The 'brethren' are the I AM states within you, followers of the God-church in Christ Jesus, not separate persons. The 'suffering from your countrymen' is the friction of familiar thoughts and old habits opposing the new you who is in Christ Jesus. The claim that they 'killed the Lord Jesus' and the prophets is a symbol: higher truth has been resisted by old beliefs that feel threatened by the new vision. The command to forbid speaking to the Gentiles is the mental habit of keeping your new awareness from entering other faculties. The 'wrath' coming upon them is the natural consequence of clinging to separation; but for you, the invitation is to revise the entire scene from fear to faith. In your imagination, declare that you are already in the company of God’s churches, that every thought is a doorway to unity, and feel the joy of sharing the gospel of your true I AM with all parts of your being.
