The Inner King Renamed

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a map of your mind. The Babylonian king is the image of circumstance, the power that seems to rule from outside. When Mattaniah is installed and renamed Zedekiah, notice that the naming is an act of consciousness, not of fate. The true throne sits within your awareness; the name you wear in mind is the authority you live by. If you accept a new name in imagination, you begin to act from a different center, and life appears to rearrange itself to match that inner decree. The drama on the stage of Israel becomes your inner drama: a renaming marks a shift in identification, a claim of sovereignty by I AM awareness. So, revise, renounce the old, and dwell in the sense of a throne already occupied. Your outer world is the echo of your inner kingdom. Remember that imagination creates reality and you are the ruler who authorizes the scene.
