Scripture Focus

8Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

2 Chronicles 29:8-9

Biblical Context

These verses declare that the LORD's wrath fell on Judah and Jerusalem because of disobedience, bringing trouble and captivity to the people and their families. The passage hints that present hardship mirrors deeper inner patterns of faith and allegiance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the 'wrath of the LORD' is not a person beating down a village; it is the state of consciousness that arises when one forgets the I AM. Judah and Jerusalem represent your inner dispositions; their collapse into trouble and captivity mirrors thoughts that have lost alignment with the divine order. The 'fathers' who fell by the sword symbolize old beliefs that have slain your sense of power, while your sons, daughters, and wives in captivity stand for living ideas bound by fear or lack. The external exile is the image you project when you identify with limitation; yet the I AM—the Indwelling Presence of awareness—remains untouched and ever-present. The remedy is to reverse the scene by assuming a new inner state: you are guided, protected, and free. By dwelling as the one who knows, you reverse the cause and effect, and the visible 'wrath' dissolves into light. The return is an inner turning of attention back to your true self, where the kingdom is always present.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and assume 'I AM the I AM' as your living reality, feeling resistance melt. Imagine the exile dissolving and you dwelling in the freedom of awareness here and now.
