Inner Judgment of Zedekiah

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the text is not a record of distant kings alone; it is a mirror of your own mind. The Chaldeans' army is the relentless anxiety and habit-patterns that chase your awareness until a verdict is declared. Zedekiah, the king, stands for your sovereign I AM within you—your capacity to decide and to govern how you feel and act. When he is overtaken in the plains of Jericho, it signals times when your focus yields to outer appearances rather than to inner truth. Riblah, where judgment is given, is the moment you submit to the perceived authority of circumstance. The slaying of the sons and the nobles represents the pruning of identities and attractions that no longer serve your inner king. The blinding, and exile to Babylon, symbolize the withdrawal of outer sight and the relocation of your power into a foreign room—your mind's atmosphere rather than the world’s stage. Yet all this, in Neville’s method, can be reversed by a single act: assume the state of the I AM right here and now, and let the inner vision restore Zedekiah to his throne within.
