The Inner King Within Hosea

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scripture, 'Israel' represents your own consciousness. When you say 'in me is thine help,' you are being asked to turn from outward authorities to the I AM within, the true sovereign. The statement 'I will be thy king' invites you to let your inner reality replace external assurances; the old outward kings—fears, dogmas, and authorities—are reflections of a mind that forgot its unity with God. When you imagine a king raised in anger or wrath, you are not seeing a separate ruler but a consciousness that believes itself separate from the One Power. The line 'The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid' indicates guilt remains hidden only while you maintain separation; the moment you choose inner reign, that hidden guilt is dissolved. By turning inward and assuming the king's reign, you align with the I AM and allow life to flow in proper order, freeing you from self-destruction.
