Inner Conspiracy and Imprisonment

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the king of Assyria represents the outer decree of life pressed upon your awareness, while Hoshea’s conspiracy mirrors a private thought seeking escape—an inner inclination to ally with some other power (Egypt) rather than remain under your own inner governance. The act of sending messengers and withholding tribute signals a bargaining with circumstance and withholding reverence from the only true ruler within: the I AM. When Hoshea is bound and imprisoned, you feel the sting of limitation in consciousness, a belief that you are controlled by an external force. Yet imprisonment is but a mental image, a scenario that can be revised. I AM is the sovereign presence; you are not subject to any external king. By assuming the opposite state—that you are eternally free and governed by divine order—you dissolve the scene. Hold the vision of inner sovereignty, let the old charges dissolve, and notice exile as a return to the living presence of God within your own heart. The outer empire collapses when the inner king awakens.
