Inner Kingdom Amid Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 2:5 speaks of the LORD as an enemy who swallows the cities and leaves Judah in mourning. In the Neville lens, that 'enemy' is not a separate power outside you, but a magnified belief in separation from the I AM. When the mind feels its security swallowed and its halls emptied, it is not God doing the damage, but a moment your consciousness agreed to forget its source. The outer ruins symbolize inner dispositions—thoughts, plans, and identities—that have fallen because the heart forgot its true royal nature. Reframe: the kingdom is always within, and the so-called enemy reflects a belief that your awareness has not yet claimed its sovereign state. By returning to the feeling of the I AM, you reoccupy the inner palace. As you dwell in that presence, the impressions of loss dissolve and a new alignment arises, as if the city rises again from within. The day you understand that the 'enemy' is only a sign to revise, you walk free, your mind restored to its rightful throne.
