Inner Kingdom Resolution

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the city is your mind; the call to strike the 'head' is a thought that would sever harmony with the king within you—the I AM. Joab’s refusal to swallow up the city shows disciplined action born from a clear state of consciousness: one does not attack, one delivers the threat and withdraws, leaving the rest to wisdom. The woman who spares and mobilizes the people is your inner minister of counsel, the collective mind aligning in service to the king. When they throw the head over the wall, the visible result is the release of conflict’s burden from the surface, allowing Joab to trumpet the return to Jerusalem—your aligned state. This is not violence but righteous order in the Kingdom of God: discernment that deals with disturbance without catastrophe, turning force into resolution by collective will tuned to the I AM. The verse teaches that every inner disturbance can be settled in consciousness by a wise, compassionate act that satisfies justice and restores peace.
