Read Nahum 1 in context

Scripture Focus

8But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

9What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Nahum 1:8-9

Biblical Context

Nahum speaks of a final end that comes with a flood, and darkness pursuing the enemies. It asks you what you imagine against the LORD, declaring affliction will not rise twice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Nahum’s lines as addressed to your inner state rather than a city’s ruin. The overrunning flood is the flood of your own imaginal activity—the fresh form your I AM breathes into every moment. When you identify with this divine presence, the place thereof—your former beliefs about lack, danger, or limitation—receives its end. Darkness chasing enemies is the fading of fear as you withdraw belief from its fabric; it is not punishment but the closing of a worn image. Now, pause and ask yourself, What do you imagine against the LORD? If you answer with steadfast I AM, you align with the one Power within. Affliction rising a second time refers to staying in the old story; you choose to replace that story with the truth of being. The LORD’s utter end is the end of a false self-image, and Providence becomes your daily experience as you consent to peace as your baseline. Your awareness doesn’t wage war; it reveals. When you stand in the I AM, you witness the end of what was and the birth of what is.
