The Inner Jerusalem Arrives

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner world, the verse reveals a drama of states of consciousness. Absalom represents a rising impulse to govern your life, a claim to personal kingship seeking the throne of your heart. The men of Israel are the multitude of thoughts and beliefs rallying to that impulse. Jerusalem is the center of your decision, the space where the I AM—your living awareness—dwells and rules. Ahithophel is the counselor within, the polished plan that sounds wise and promising swift victory. When these forces converge on your inner Jerusalem, you witness the birth of a new inner sovereignty. The Kingdom of God, in this reading, is not a distant realm but your conscious alignment with the I AM, not swayed by crowd-mentality or counterfeit counsel. Test every inward counsel against the feel of peace and the sense of right order; revise what obstructs that peace until the crown rests securely within. The true king emerges when you refuse the counterfeit and affirm your real royalty through inner conviction and stillness.
