Inner Conquest of Rabbah

Neville's Inner Vision

Joab’s victory over Rabbah is not a history lesson but an inner image. Rabbah stands for a fixed belief in lack or limitation within your mind, and Joab represents the decisive movement of your attention and will. When Joab says, I have fought against Rabbah and have taken the city of waters, he is describing the inner act of declaring a belief changed. David’s later gathering of the people and entering the city illustrates the I AM gathering all sub-states—courage, memory, longing, patience—into a single, harmonized consciousness and commanding them to fulfill the end already conceived. The warning that the city not be named after any man but after the name of the speaker points to acknowledging the universal power within, not personal ego. Your outer date of victory mirrors the inner alignment: when the mind has settled on the end, the outer scene simply follows. Treat this narrative as a blueprint: awaken the inner city, claim it with the sense of inevitability, and let the world reflect that inner sovereignty.
