Neville Goddard on Amos 1:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

2And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Amos 1:1-2

Biblical Context

Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa, speaks about Israel in the days of Uzziah and Jeroboam, foretelling judgment two years before a great upheaval. He declares that the Lord will roar from Zion, signaling a profound inner turning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos speaks as one grounded in humble Tekoa, but the real audience is your inner man. The 'roar from Zion' is the awakening of awareness—the I AM turning toward you and declaring, 'Here I am.' The 'earthquake' foretold is the inner shift when old beliefs quake and yield to a new truth you accept in feeling. The 'habitations of the shepherds shall mourn' signals that outward roles cannot hold the growing light, and the top of Carmel withers to give way to the inner kingdom. This is not doom for others, but a summons to revise your sense of self until the divine presence is the atmosphere you breathe. When you hear the roar, you are reminded that God is within and that your kingdom is an already-present state of consciousness. Practice sees the outer world rearranging to match your inner assent, and you become the witness of your own awakening.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in imagination, hear Zion's roar within. Say quietly to yourself: I am the I AM; I revise any fear as if it never happened, and feel the new reality of my inner Kingdom as real now.
