Fire Upon Teman, Inner Palaces
Amos 1:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Amos 1:12 describes a fire coming to Teman to devour the palaces of Bozrah. It represents a judgment that purifies by exposing and dissolving what is false within the mind.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Neville Goddard frame, the fire is not a weapon but a movement of consciousness. Teman and Bozrah are inner states, the walls we have built to protect old patterns of fear, pride, and habit. The decree to send fire is the invitation of awareness to burn away these defenses, so that only the true I AM remains standing. When you imagine the flames, you are not fearing destruction but witnessing your own inner rearrangement: the creeds that held you in place melt, the illusions of you fade, and a more precise alignment with your essential self emerges. The promised deliverance is not exile from life but an exile of the old self from the mind, making room for a stronger, freer self to inhabit your inner city. By assuming the feeling of inherent order, you reverse the image: the fire is a cleansing agent that grants clarity, not punishment. Your world will shift as you consistently entertain the thought that you are both observer and fire, cultivating a place where truth, love, and power reside as one.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes. Declare: I am the fire that purges Teman and Bozrah within me; imagine the old palaces dissolving and a new order rising in its place. Feel the lift in your chest as you accept this inward transformation.
