Nimrod’s Inner Kingdom Rise

Neville's Inner Vision

Nimrod in the text is not a distant conqueror but a symbol of a state you awaken in consciousness. Cush begetting Nimrod marks the moment you identify with a new, assertive I AM, and thus begin to be a mighty one in the earth of your life. 'A mighty hunter before the LORD' speaks of your focus, your willingness to hunt down scattered images and bring them into alignment with awareness. When you stand this way 'before the LORD' you acknowledge that the Lord is your own I AM, the perceiving I within you, not an external judge. The beginning of his kingdom—Babel, Erech, Accad, Calneh in Shinar—are the inner lands where thoughts take root, where you decide what to build. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh and the other cities; your inner decisions move outward into relationships, routines, and forms. Resen between Nineveh and Calah, a great city, represents the integrated life that results when your inner assumption rules. The outer world becomes a faithful, measurable reflection of the kingdom you have already dreamt into being.
