Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verses as a map of your inner landscape. The 'sons that shall issue from thee' symbolize the currents of your thoughts and the future events you have begun to generate from your present state. The decree that they shall be 'eunuchs in the palace of Babylon' translates to the belief that your outward life must bow to a power you cannot control; exile becomes a portrait of limitation you entertain as real. Yet Hezekiah's response—'Good is the word of the LORD' and 'there shall be peace and truth in my days'—is the turning back of attention to the one word you can truly trust: your own awareness, the I AM. When you hear a stormy forecast about your future, you can refuse to identify with it. You revise by accepting a new state already present in consciousness and then let your imagination feel its realness until it registers as memory. The outer day follows the inner state; your days become tranquil when the inner word becomes your lived conviction.
