Inner Jerusalem Restored Now
Psalms 137:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 137 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 137:7-9 expresses exile, a fierce longing for vengeance against Jerusalem’s enemies, and a stark call for justice to be served. It preserves the charged mood of retaliation before turning toward the deeper theme of rightful order.
Neville's Inner Vision
Interpreted through the I AM, these verses become a study in inner psychology. The Edomites and Babylon are not distant peoples but your own fixed opinions, resentments, and fears that crush the inner Jerusalem you seek to inhabit. When the cry says, remember them in the day of Jerusalem, you are asked to recognize the moment you have forgotten your true self and let your awareness return to its center. The command to 'rase it' reveals the old impulse to erase what you do not want to face; the divine law, however, is not extermination but reordering of consciousness. The line about destroying the little ones points to the tender parts of you that shudder at loss; rather than harming them, you must comfort and integrate them, so your inner city stands intact. The solution is to claim the I AM as the sole governor of your world, to revise the narrative from punishment to restoration, and to imagine the rightful order of your thoughts. Practice this: assume you are the just judge and the merciful healer of your inner temple; feel the peace as if Jerusalem is already set free within you.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as ruler of your inner world and repeat, 'I restore, I bless, I am the order of peace.' Then imagine your inner Jerusalem rising in light.
