Inner Kingship of Daniel 5:30-31

Neville's Inner Vision

Belshazzar's fall and the rise of Darius are no mere history; they are inscriptions in the psyche showing what your imagination is capable of. In Neville's terms, the king you serve is a state of consciousness. When Belshazzar is slain, the old ruling image—the boastful, fearful ego of power—dies in your inner theater. In the moment you accept the truth that you are the I AM, a different king comes forward; Darius the Median represents a calm, just, abiding self-awareness that now sits on the throne of your inner man. The night is not a physical calamity but a moment when your assumptions yield to a more accurate portrayal of yourself. Providence, in this sense, is the orchestration of your own belief, ensuring that when you revise your state, the outer world follows the new ruling idea. Judgment and accountability are internal: you are the governor of your inner kingdom, and the law of your imagination is your king's law. When you feel the reality of the new reign—no longer dependent on fleeting external signs—the kingdom is established within you and will appear without.
