Inner Cities of Benjamin

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider each listed city not as a place on a map, but as a state of consciousness you carry within you. Benjamin’s cities are the inner precincts of your being—the habits, loyalties, and loves you steward by attention. Jericho stands as the old walls of doubt you have not yet demolished; Jerusalem (Jebusi) glows as the enduring realization that you are the land of God where unity and covenant dwell. Each village—Bethhoglah, Zemaraim, Bethel, Ophrah, Gibeon, Mizpeh, Mozah, Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi’s kin—are not distant towns but feelings, memories, and relationships you cultivate in awareness. The total number of cities becomes a map of your inner inheritance: a complete territory you already possess in consciousness, awaiting your inner declaration that “I am.” Your “tribe” is your own steadfast I AM, the unwavering now that holds the covenant with your desired life. The passage invites you to stop seeking externally and to claim the unity of all these inner settlements as your present experience.
