Inner Judgment, Idols Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

See the hand of God as the touch of your own awareness, and the 'kingdoms of the idols' as the stubborn beliefs you have mistaken for power outside yourself. When the verse speaks of finding these idols in Samaria and Jerusalem, hear it as a confession of your inner drama—two familiar images you cling to, both demanding your attention. The question, 'Shall I not... do to Jerusalem and her idols?' becomes a mirror: will you extend the same correction to every counterfeit power you have worshiped? Your I AM, your living awareness, is not distant punishment but the cleansing light that reorganizes your inner landscape. The judgment described is really a waking: as you cease to identify with external idols, the grip of those images loosens and your true worship—awareness—rises. In this light, the apparent geography dissolves into a single field of consciousness where Samaria and Jerusalem are one, and your capacity to know and be free stands unshaken by former images of control or lack.
