Destruction of Baal Within Israel

Neville's Inner Vision

Jehu is the embodiment of a decisive inner authority—the I AM in action within your mind. Israel stands for your inner kingdom, the field of awareness you inhabit. Baal represents any belief that claims sovereignty over you: fear, habit, image, or external power you have momentarily worshiped. When Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel, it is a symbolic turning in consciousness from superstition to the reality of God within. This is not a conquest of people but a revision of belief: you shift your allegiance from imagined powers to the one Presence that you are. The destruction is an inner purging—replacing dependence on appearances with the conviction that God is the only reality. As you persist in the awareness that you and the Infinite are one, Baal is dethroned and Israel is purified, ready to worship in spirit and truth.
