Inner Fall of Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scripture, the city is not a place but a state of mind. When the walls are breached, it is your old disbeliefs and fears that yield to the encroaching Chaldees—the forces you once believed would govern you. The king who flees and is captured represents the you who identified with a separate self, momentarily thinking you are the doer of life. The pursuit and the scattering of the army signify the collapse of the old lordship when the light of awareness meets the dream. The judgment at Riblah and the blinding of Zedekiah are allegories for the surrender of the ego’s sight—you no longer see through the eyes of limitation but through the I AM, which does not judge as the world does. Carried to Babylon marks your consciousness entering exile from the old story; but in Neville’s language, exile is opportunity to awaken, to inquire inside and decree a new frame. The inner event is your decision that the I AM remains the one Governor; the outer events merely reveal a shift in inner alignment.
