Lamentations 2:6

Biblical Context

Verse 2:6 describes God violently taking away the tabernacle and destroying the places of assembly. The solemn feasts and sabbaths are forgotten in Zion, and the king and priest are despised in anger.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 2:6 shows the outer tabernacle ripped away and the public places of assembly laid waste; the solemn feasts and Sabbaths are forgotten in Zion, and the king and priest are despised in anger. Read through Neville's lens, this is not a historical ruin but a state of consciousness forgetting its own temple. The tabernacle outside you seek is a symbol for your inner awareness; when you cling to outward rituals, you neglect the living I AM within. The exile you feel is your mind’s resistance to its created reality; to restore Zion is to revise the inner sense of worship, to awaken the awareness that God operates as I AM, here and now. The outward destruction signals a turning point: you are given the chance to return to inner governance, to let the king and priest within govern with love rather than anger. When you stop idolizing external rites and imagine yourself as the temple, the feasts return as a luminous certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the inner temple is whole again. Silently declare I am the temple of God; worship is within me, and feel that awareness becoming your immediate reality.
