Amos 1:1

Biblical Context

Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa, received a vision about Israel during Uzziah’s and Jeroboam’s reigns, two years before a great earthquake.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this verse invites you to regard Amos as a symbol of your own inner witness. 'The words of Amos' are not a historical account but a state of consciousness in you—the I AM that witnesses Israel—the inner nation of your being. Tekoa, the pasture, is the quiet place where you tend your daily work and vocation with fidelity. The days of Uzziah and Jeroboam symbolize two ruling currents in your mind—the outer authority of opinion and the inner authority of awareness. When you notice 'two years before the earthquake' as a threshold, you sense a coming shift in your mind, a moment when old structures quake and yield to a higher order. The Kingdom of God is not distant; it is the atmosphere in which your imagination can operate. Your prophetic word arises as you align with the state of the man or woman who already possesses the answer. The verse invites you to see that vocation and prophecy spring from the same I AM, and reality follows your inner awakening.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of Amos in your own life—treat yourself as the keeper of truth, the witness of Israel within. Feel it real that the Kingdom is present now, and let your next action flow from that inner decree.
