Read Jeremiah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

5Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.

6Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

Jeremiah 4:5-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 4:5-6 calls Judah to blow the trumpet, gather the people, and move toward fortified cities, signaling an imminent judgment from the north. In Neville’s terms, these outer motions mirror inner shifts of consciousness toward Zion within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your land is your consciousness, and the trumpet-call is the I AM awakening you to who you truly are. The gathering and the move toward Zion are a discipline of inner alignment: gather your thoughts in the light of your essential Self, retire the old self, and let the standard of Zion rise in your attention. The great destruction from the north is not punishment but a cleansing wind that dislodges worn beliefs, revealing the vitality of the one life you live as God. When you feel the north wind, welcome it as the opportunity to revise your sense of limitation and to claim your birthright in God. The kingdom you seek is not somewhere else; it is the state you awaken into by meeting every thought and feeling with the I AM. In this moment, you are commanded to assemble within, for Zion is the consciousness that never departs from you and from which all outward events derive their meaning.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already gathered within your inner Zion; feel the I AM as a warm current in your chest and revise fear into faith, letting that feeling dwell for a few minutes. Then carry that shift into your daily thoughts.
