Nahum 1:1-2

Biblical Context

Nahum 1:1-2 presents a burden about Nineveh and declares that God is jealous and will vindicate, with wrath reserved for enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the Nineveh of Nahum be your own stubborn pattern of belief. The burden is an inner story you have accepted as real, not a city across the sea. God being jealous becomes the I AM's fiery zeal for truth, a loving insistence that you align with your highest idea. The LORD revengeth points to the inner law that balance returns when misalignment is recognized and released. Wrath reserved for enemies is not punishment from above but the correction of consciousness that ceases identifying with fear, guilt, or illusion. When you feel attacked by an outer condition, you are being invited to revise in imagination until you know yourself as one with the truth that you are, and that truth heals. This is not vengeance on others but the awakening of your own awareness to unity and order.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume I AM, and revise a limiting belief until you feel the truth as real. See the inner judgment as a gentle flame aligning every thought to unity and order.
