Scripture Focus

2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Hebrews 7:1-2

Biblical Context

Hebrews 7:1-2 presents Melchizedek, king of Salem, blessing Abraham, and Abraham giving him a tenth. The passage signals an inner ordering: a higher state blesses the lower, and right-relationship precedes peace.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, Melchizedek is not a person in history but a state of consciousness—the inner King of Righteousness who makes his realm Salem, a place of peace. When Abraham returns from the slaughter of the kings, you are waking from the dream of separation; the meeting with Melchizedek marks a shift in awareness: your higher self enters and blesses your lower, and you feel the blessing as a real felt shift in being. The tenth Abraham pays is the recognition that all you perceive as wealth and power flow from this inner king; you give a portion back to the Source as a sign you acknowledge your wealth originates in awareness itself. The order is essential: first the King of Righteousness, then the King of Peace. Without right alignment—the inner intelligence agreeing with I AM—peace cannot settle into your heart. This is not external authority; it is your inner governance, quiet and regal, rising to bless every moment you call forth.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare: I am Melchizedek, the King of Righteousness and Peace within me. Feel this inner royal blessing as your wealth, and acknowledge that all you possess comes from this awareness.
