The I Am Surrounds Your Tabernacle

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us reinterpret the scene as a parable of inner life. The 'wrath' kindled against me is not a punitive God outside of you, but a belief in separation rising in the I AM awareness. The enemies and the marching troops are not beings in space but thoughts, memories, and habits that have gathered around your mental tabernacle. Job’s sense of being surrounded is the way consciousness describes a mind gripped by fear and judgment, a state in which you feel besieged by circumstance. In Neville’s line of vision, God is the I AM—your abiding awareness—and the entire siege dissolves when you refuse to identify with the story of attack. Say silently to yourself: I am the I AM; this awareness is unshakable. The apparent army dissolves not by force but by a revision of belief, by re-imagining your identity as one with divine presence. When you rest in that truth, the 'enemies' vanish into the field of wholeness, and the tabernacle stands secure in serenity.
