Inner Lineage of Jerusalem

Nehemiah 11:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Nehemiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

4And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez;
5And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni.
Nehemiah 11:4-5

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.
