Inner Thunder of Zephaniah

Neville's Inner Vision

I see that day as not a mere external calamity, but the inner weather of my consciousness. The cry from the fish gate, the howling from the second, the great crashing from the hills are not outside events but inner movements of thought and feeling when I confront beliefs I have mistaken for reality. The fish gate and Maktesh symbolize the gates of appetite and the marketplace of self-worth—how I measure myself by wealth, status, and possession. When these inner centers shake, I am invited to turn inward and recognize that I am the I AM, awareness itself, not the person clinging to forms. The prophecy of judgment becomes a promise: as I relinquish attachment to form, the old self is cut down so the true I AM may stand forth in luminous clarity. This upheaval is the clearing wherein I realize every troubling sensation is a signal from consciousness asking me to awaken to its sovereign presence.
