Inner Mourning in Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse speaks as if a day is coming in which Jerusalem sighs with a profound mourning. In Neville’s scripture-doctrine, places are states and events are inner movements. Jerusalem is your inner city of awareness, and the great mourning is the shedding of a familiar image about yourself. Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon is the crucible where old beliefs confront your inner I AM and must yield. The lament is not punishment but a turning of attention from outer woes to the certainty of your true nature. When you recognize that the I AM is sovereign in you, the day of sorrow becomes the doorway to a higher consciousness. The cry of mourning is the call to revise, to let go of a limited identity, and to rise into the life that already occupies your consciousness. Thus the verse points inward: what you lament externally reveals your inner agreement with a worn state. The moment you refuse to be defined by that state, you stand in the dawn of your inner kingdom.
