Awakening the Inner Priesthood

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how the text names a kingdom that cannot be sustained by outward symbols. The 'great multitude' with golden calves is a state of consciousness that worships images instead of the living I AM. The priests of Aaron and the Levites represent the disciplined faculties of attention, discernment, and sacrifice—inner ways of knowing God. By casting them out and appointing priests after the manner of other nations, the mind creates a counterfeit priesthood, a ritualism that substitutes forms for living relationship with the divine within. Your kingdom, the LORD's reign, is always governed by awareness, not by external ceremonies or idols. When you identify with the false priests, you are saying you are ruled by beliefs that do not know God; when you revise, you unseat the idol and reinstall the true priesthood—your awakened I AM manifesting as king. The warning invites you to attend to inner worship: feel your inner temple as already established, and declare that you, not outer rites or idols, rule the kingdom.
