Mercy at the Dungeon Gate

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 38:7 is a vivid map of inner life. The Ethiopian eunuch is the mercy that already dwells in the king's house—the inner authority in me hearing of a Jeremiah imprisoned in a dungeon of belief. The dungeon stands for a limitation I have accepted, while the gate of Benjamin marks the threshold of awareness where I may choose to act. When I identify with this Ebedmelech as the I AM present, I feel a surge to release the imprisoned truth. The real rescue is a revision of consciousness, not of circumstance; imagination crafts reality, and mercy moves through my awareness to dissolve bondage. By attentive inner listening, I learn that the scene is a call to awaken, assume a freer state, and allow the prisoner within to go free. Salvation comes as a shift of consciousness, revealing that inner kindness can transform even the bleakest impression of imprisonment into freedom.
