The Hour Within, Action Without

Neville's Inner Vision

John 2:4-5 presents not a conflict of times but a revelation of inner timing. The 'hour' is the state of consciousness in which miracles unfold; when Jesus says his hour is not yet come, he signals that your current awareness has not aligned with the word you are about to hear. The mother's counsel, 'Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it,' becomes the practical law of faith: await the inner Word and obey it without hesitation. The servants symbolize your faculties—senses, memory, imagination—ready to serve once the Word is received. By revising any doubt and stepping into the assumed reality of the Word, you synchronize your inner state with outer events. The miracle occurs as you shift from anticipatory waiting to immediate action grounded in conviction. Thus, the scene teaches you to listen for the Word within and to act upon it with fearless obedience, until the outer world manifests the already-realized inner state.
