Inner Siege, Royal Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you this: the outer events of 2 Kings 24:7-11 are but a mirror of the inner state you imagine. The king of Egypt who no longer leaves his land stands for old patterns clinging to security, the familiar stones of your past. Babylon's Nebuchadnezzar sweeping from river to river signifies a forceful shift of attention—an inner law that dethrones attachment to the ego and trains the mind to listen for a higher command. When you identify with Jerusalem within—the quiet will under God—your outward world yields to that sovereignty. Yet the record warns: Jehoiachin did evil in the sight of the LORD; when you obey lesser desires, the inner city finds itself besieged. The siege is not punishment but revelation: until your inner state accepts a newer sovereignty, the outer kingdom remains under constraint. The remedy is simple: assume the I AM, feel the fulfilled rule of divine life, and revise every contrary thought. Let the old king fade and dwell in the inner citadel, where discipline becomes ally, not jailer. Persist in that inner state, and the outer city will bow to your crowned Jerusalem.
