Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the story in 2 Kings 8:15 speaks not of a distant king but of your inner reign. The morrow and the thick cloth dipped in water symbolize how you wash away a long-standing belief, allowing its image to fade. The masked face is the old self clinging to power, and when the cloth dries, the old sovereign dies in your awareness and a new ruler takes his stead. That ruler, Hazael, is the fresh state of consciousness that now governs your inner kingdom. The deceit—its appearance and suddenness—reminds you that appearances hide movements of mind; yet you can watch these movements and choose a newer I AM to reign. Every event in the outer story is a counterpart of inner shifts: a dying ruler signals the relinquishment of old patterns, while the rising ruler embodies your clarified sense of self. Stand as the observer of this change, and permit the new reign to occupy the throne of your life.
