Inner Justice and Divine Reckoning

Neville's Inner Vision

See this brief verse as a reflection of my inner state. The seventy kings are the many impulses and opinions that have ruled my mind—the pride, fear, appetite, and control I have fed by private decisions. When Adonibezek says his enemies were crippled and fed under his table, he is naming how a belief once defended consumes its energy, leaving the self nourished by old victories. The line 'as I have done, so God hath requited me' is not a judgment from without but the law of consciousness acting within me: the inner action returns as outer circumstance because I have lived it as true. The place 'Jerusalem' represents the center of my awareness—the I AM, the permanent witness. His death there signals that the old self, built on those severed powers, dissolves when faced with its own inward ruler, the awareness that never leaves. The lesson is not vengeance but alignment: I awaken to the fact that I am the king of my inner land, and by that recognition I displace the need for old retribution.
