Jeremiah 31:23

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 31:23 speaks of a future restoration where God blesses the habitation of justice and the mountain of holiness, signaling an inner transformation as well as external renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks of a people whose life rises from the inner state of awareness rather than from external conditions. In Neville's language, the exile is any mind persuaded by appearances, and the return is the moment I awaken to the I AM that already blesses. The 'habitation of justice' and the 'mountain of holiness' are inner stations I occupy by choice; they are not places on a map but realities of consciousness I inhabit now. When I say, 'The LORD bless thee,' I bless the state of mind, and my world reflects that blessing as I continue to dwell in the feeling of justice and holiness. The line 'they shall use this speech' means I will speak from the new state before I see outward signs; belief precedes confirmation. The promise of restoration is proof that, in this present moment, I am being restored to right discernment and sacred purpose. Thus, the verse invites a persistent inward shift: cultivate a consciousness in which justice and holiness are not hopes, but the living condition of who I am.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly and assume the feeling that you are the habitation of justice and the mountain of holiness. Speak from that state until the sense of captivity dissolves and blessing becomes your normal awareness.
