Jeremiah 39:1-2

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 39:1-2 describes Nebuchadrezzar attacking Jerusalem under Zedekiah, leading to the city's siege and its eventual breaking.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the siege as a picture of your own inner weather. In Neville's key, Jerusalem is your state of consciousness, the place you live from within; Nebuchadrezzar's army is the persistent fear and doubt that march through your mind when you forget who you are. The siege and breach do not prove your life is doomed; they reveal the power of a maintained belief in lack. You are not the events; you are the I AM behind them, the awareness that remains stable while appearances shift. When you align with the I AM, the inner city does not collapse; you simply notice that the old walls are being rebuilt by the new state. The ninth-year siege is the pressure of time, the eleventh-year breach the moment you re-choose a different inner assumption. The answer is to live from the end: assume the state of Jerusalem already intact, feel the reality of your inner kingdom, and let the outer scenes adjust to your new belief.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I AM the ruler of this inner city; then spend five minutes imagining the siege dissolving as the walls restore themselves and the dawn of the kingdom arises within.
