Inner Lineage of Jerusalem
Nehemiah 11:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nehemiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 4-5 notes that certain descendants of Judah and Benjamin lived in Jerusalem, listing ancestors from Judah and a second line through Perez and Maaseiah. It anchors the community and family presence in the city.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jerusalem in this reading is the I AM you stand in the middle of, the stable center where every line of your past and your future gathers. The names on the page become states of consciousness—the disciplined Judah, the merciful Benjamin—each a mode of awareness you have allowed to dwell within your inner city. The sense of dwelling there is not history but your present feeling: you are abiding in unity, under the Presence of God, with the lines of thought and belief harmonized as one community. If you have felt scattered, remember these are inner genealogies you can revise by assuming a new reality: you are already there, seated in your inner Jerusalem, seeing every lineage as a facet of your I AM. By choosing to inhabit that Jerusalem now, you rearrange the inner movements, and the outer life aligns with the inward state. The list becomes a map of your established patterns and loyalties, which you can retune by one decisive assumption: I AM dwelling in the city of Presence, and all lines converge in peace.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume you are already dwelling in Jerusalem, the center of your consciousness. See your chosen lineage standing with you in unity, and affirm: I am now dwelling in the Presence, and every line of my family is harmonized.
