Scripture Focus

8And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

9And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

10And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

2 Chronicles 18:8-11

Biblical Context

King Ahab and Jehoshaphat sit on their thrones as prophets declare victory for Ramoth-Gilead. Zedekiah brandishes horns and proclaims the LORD will deliver, while all the prophets urge go and prosper.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the outer kingly role is a state of consciousness. The throne is a decision you have already chosen, and the crowd of prophets are the habitual thoughts about security, success, and control. They all speak in unison because you fear the unknown; they offer a polished forecast: go up and prosper, the LORD shall deliver. Yet this chorus is not the I AM speaking, but the collective voice of your ego’s appetite for results. Micaiah the son of Imla represents the quiet, solitary awareness within you that sees beyond the surface of appearances; his being summoned signals the necessity to bring forth the true self in the midst of popular opinion. Zedekiah’s horns of iron symbolize the loud, forceful projections of power you may wield to enforce a favorable outcome. The LORD in this scene is the inner I AM, not the external decree of others. Neville would counsel you to revise the outward promise by aligning your inner feeling with the truth you already are; listen for the one voice of clarity and let it govern your expectation rather than the chorus.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the inner voice of truth as the sole speaker within you. Revise the external forecast to reflect your desired outcome and feel it real now.
