Inner Excellency Restored Nahum 2:2

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Nahum 2:2 be read as a psychological note rather than a history of siege. The LORD turning away the excellency of Jacob is the moment your attention shifts from the I AM within to the appearance of lack. Your inner life—the vine of being— is let go by the fading image of former splendor when you identify with emptiness or external emptiers. But the full meaning is that this turning away is a signpost: you can re-locate your power in consciousness. The excellency remains intact as your I AM presence, and your imagination is the gardener. When you persist in the true fact that you are the life that produces vine branches, the drought-like feeling loosens and the branches begin to revive. Judgment becomes invitation to return to your original awareness, where the garden's abundance is constant. So in this reading the verse invites you to turn within, to say, 'I am the excellency of Jacob; my life flourishes by the I AM within me,' and to watch the outer world rearrange to reflect that inner state.
