Inner City Prophecy Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard’s way of reading, the city before you is a symbol for your own state of consciousness; the Lord’s words represent the governing thoughts you hold in awareness. When you permit inner words of condemnation or fear to be spoken within, you invite corresponding outer events to unfold “that day before thee.” Ebedmelech the Ethiopian stands not as a historical figure but as the trusted messenger within you who carries the decisive word. The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is your I AM presence—the unwavering awareness that speaks your reality into existence. The prophecy here is not a punishment of Jerusalem but a mirror of your own mind: what you decree in your inner conversation becomes your outward life. If you cling to doom, you create an evil dream; if you awaken to the reality that your word is God’s word in expression, you move the city toward the good you intend. The law is universal: your inner utterance writes the events of your life long before they appear in time.
