Hearing the Coming of Israel

Neville's Inner Vision

Arad is not a man, but a mental posture—the southern, old self that fears the new arrival. Israel stands for the presence of God within your consciousness, the kingdom that comes when you affirm the I AM as your reality. When Arad 'hears' of the coming, notice that hearing is an inner alert, a belief that something powerful is approaching that could threaten the old order. Do not assault Arad; instead revise the story: I am Israel in the land; the coming is already here, I am the land in which God dwells. The covenant loyalty required is steady, unwavering belief in the Presence as your current state, not a distant event. As you persist in that assumption, the inner opposition relaxes, fear dissolves, and the promised order flows into awareness. The verse invites you to recognize that your inner geography is where the kingdom is established, and outer events reflect your inner allegiance to the truth of being.
