Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

4Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

5And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

Jeremiah 21:4-5

Biblical Context

God declares that He will turn back the weapons of war in your hands and that He will fight for you with a mighty, decisive power.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the economy of consciousness, the weapons of war are your restless thoughts—fear, anger, and conflict-minded images. Jeremiah speaks as your inner awareness, promising that God will turn these weapons back and gather them in the midst of your inner city. This is the proof that the king of Babylon and the besieging forces you fear are just states of mind, not external fate. When you recognize the I AM that you are, the divine arm swings into action, not to punish but to restore order. The outstretched hand and powerful arm are the ongoing activity of awareness at work within you, cleansing the battlefield of chaotic imagings and directing energy toward harmony. The anger and wrath signify the intensity with which inner perception shifts when you awake; they are the force by which inner revelations occur. Stand as the observer of your thoughts, and let the inner God fight for you. As this happens, the inner city quiets, and you discover the victory already present within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM presence, and visualize the weapons of conflict being gathered in the center of your inner city; feel the Divine I AM lifting them away and fighting your battles within today.
