The Inner Crown Awakens

Nahum 3:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nahum 3 in context

Scripture Focus

17Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Nahum 3:17

Biblical Context

Nahum 3:17 portrays worldly crowns and captains as passing illusions—appearing secure in the hedges of life, yet vanishing under the rising sun, leaving no trace of their place.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Nahum’s image is not a warning about kingdoms but a mirror of your inner weather. The crowned are your beliefs in external authority; the captains are your identities about who you must be to seem powerful. They camp in the hedges—the chilly day of appearances—until the sun of awareness rises, at which point these outward identities vanish and their place becomes unknowable because you have ceased projecting a separate self. The verse invites you to claim leadership not from stones or titles but from awareness. If you accept the I AM as your sole governor, the wind of time cannot dislodge your sovereignty. The locusts melt when you know you are the sun that shines on every scene. Your true crown is the realization that you are the stable, timeless presence behind every appearing role; the world’s shifting rulers disappear only as you shift your identification from form to the formless I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I AM the inner governor; feel the sunlight of awareness rise and dissolve the outward crowns. Then rest in that feeling until it becomes real.
