Inner Reign of 2 Kings 12:20-21

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your psyche, Joash represents the outward king you have trusted to govern your life. The conspiracy of his servants reveals the inner doubts and habitual thoughts that plot against the authority you claim in your mind. The house of Millo—the descent toward Silla—maps the hidden rooms where you have kept this old king’s throne. When the plot succeeds, the dying gesture is not violence to you but a necessary relinquishment of a former identification. The burial in the city of David marks the return of what remains of the old self to the ground of your consciousness, freeing the throne for a new sovereign. Amaziah, who rises in his stead, stands for a fresh state of consciousness—an inner reign aligned with the Kingdom of God within. This event, seen through Neville’s lens, is not tragedy but the law of substitution: a dying form yields to a truer sense of self, and your awareness awakens to a higher reign that governs thoughts, emotions, and choices with calm authority. The inner king is established as you recognize that all events are moves within your one I AM, directing you toward wholeness.
