Jeremiah 23:5-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 23:5-6 speaks of a righteous Branch and a King who will reign with justice, bringing salvation and safety to Judah and Israel, and bearing the name the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the prophecy as a map of your inner being. The 'days come' do not belong to history but to your present state of consciousness; a righteous Branch sprouts from the root of your awareness, and a King arises who reigns there with justice. David stands for the royal line of true I AM—the unconditioned self that rules your inner weather. When this King rules, judgment and justice flow through your thoughts, replacing fear with alignment and action with right order. 'Judah shall be saved' and 'Israel shall dwell safely' are the conditions your inner life enjoys when the King governs; safety is not an external eviction of danger but the felt security of a mind at peace with itself. And this is his name: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS—the awareness that righteousness is not earned, but is your very being when you acknowledge I AM as your identity. Your outer world becomes a canvas reflecting this sovereign inner state, your life a demonstration of order, safety, and right relationship.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of this inner King reigning now; internally declare, I am the righteous Branch, the Lord Our Righteousness, and watch your surrounding conditions align.
