Read Jeremiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

54A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

55Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

Jeremiah 51:54-55

Biblical Context

A cry comes from Babylon and great destruction follows. The Lord spoils Babylon and silences its great voice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 51:54-55 presents Babylon as a state of mind rather than a distant city. The cry, and the great destruction, mirror the inner weather created by a worn story of power you tell about yourself. In Neville's terms, the Lord spoiling Babylon is your I AM withdrawing attention from that illusion, dissolving its grip and quieting its boisterous voice. The waves that roar symbolize the habitual emotions and arguments that keep that tale alive; as you shift your awareness to the reality of your true I AM, those outward noises lose their power. The inner act of imagination creates your experience, and here it is reversed: by choosing to dwell in the quiet I AM, you erase the scene of ruin and replace it with a disciplined stillness. The city's great voice becomes a memory, and the call you respond to is the whisper of the present, unshaken by fear or pride. See the still, spacious I AM as your true city; hear the cry fade, and let your life be governed by the power that merely imagines and thus realizes.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the inner scene: declare, 'I am the I AM, and the old cry is silenced in me.' Then feel the stillness spreading through your chest until reality aligns.
