Inner Edom, The I AM
Amos 1:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse condemns Edom's pursuit of its brother with sword, lack of pity, and unending wrath; it frames punishment as the natural outcome of that inner state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Amos 1:11 reveals Edom's wrath inside the field of your own consciousness. Edom here is a stubborn state that pursues its brother with the sword, with no pity, tearing at the impression of connection. The three transgressions and the four are repetitions of separation - grudge after grudge, retaliation after retaliation - until the mind accepts a perpetual war inside. The LORD's statement that punishment will not turn away is the inward logic of cause and effect in your I AM. What you condemn outside, you first enact inside; the punishment you fear is the natural fallout of dwelling in a state that refuses mercy. When you turn to the I AM—the indwelling awareness that you are—choose a new posture: I am peace; I am pity; I am brotherly love. In that choice, the punishing mood loses its power, and the imagined separation begins to fade. This is not coercion but recognition: by shifting your state of consciousness, you invite the world to reflect that new order.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, anchor in I AM, and revise: see Edom's wrath dissolving into mercy as you declare I AM peace toward all brothers within.
