Inner Tidings of Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

I read Nahum 1:14-15 as a parable of the soul. The Lord's command to cut off the graven image and the molten image is your inner decision to stop sowing the name of your old gods—the images you have mistaken for power. When you renounce those pictures, you prepare your grave for the old self, because you no longer feed the belief that you are separate from the One. Yet along with this severing comes a radiant promise: behold on the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publisheth peace. The 'him' is the inner messenger of awareness; the peace it publishes is the alignment with the I AM, the truth that nothing lacks and no fear remains. Judah represents your inner tribe—your focus, your loyalties, your devotional acts. Keep thy solemn feasts and perform thy vows—these are not external rites but inner disciplines: gratitude, steady attention, and fidelity to your divine nature. The wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off because the mind now dwells in peace. This is not punishment but transformation by awareness.
