Jonah 3:3

Biblical Context

Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the LORD’s word; Nineveh is described as an exceedingly great city three days' journey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonah's rising to Nineveh is a parable of consciousness: the word of the LORD is an inner directive from the I AM, calling the mind into action. Nineveh, a vast city, represents the magnitude of the inner state you consent to inhabit when you obey your inner word. To arise is to align your attention with that directive, not to chase outward signs. Obedience here is faithful cooperation with reality you choose to experience in imagination. The 'three days' journey' symbolizes the inner tempo required to interiorize a new belief, moving through thoughts, images, and feelings until the vision feels inevitable. This is mission and witness: you carry the decree into your inner city and let it reconfigure your sense of self. The power is practical and immediate: your feeling of already having assumed the state is the proof that the state exists. When the inner word is heard and obeyed, external appearances shift to mirror the new inner order; the entire world becomes the echo of a single, divinely directed decision.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly and declare that you have already arisen to fulfill the inner word; envision yourself entering Nineveh, and dwell in the certainty until it feels natural.
