Neville Goddard on Amos 1:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 1 in context

Scripture Focus

13Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:

14But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:

Amos 1:13-14

Biblical Context

Amos pronounces a divine judgment on the Ammonites for their violence, warning that punishment will come and the city Rabbah will be set ablaze. The passage speaks to accountability and the ruin that follows acts of cruelty and injustice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the language of Amos, the loud language of punishment is not outside but within your own consciousness. The Ammonites’ cruelty becomes a symbol of a state of mind that has hardened the boundary between self and others. When you imagine you ripped open the womb of compassion—your Gilead— you create a climate in the inner Rabbah. The fire on the wall is the fire of awareness, burning away self-serving stories that pretend to own reality. The day of battle and the tempest of the whirlwind are inner moments when fear and judgement surge into your attention. Neville would teach that what you condemn in others is the disowned part of yourself you fear to own. So turn from pleading for external justice and align with the I AM within, refusing to identify with cruelty as your own. Assume the state of complete right-ness, integrity, and protection, and imagine the walls of your mind burning away fear, while the palaces of scarcity are replaced by the eternal light of truth and love, right now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare 'I AM,' and assume you are already living with just boundaries. Feel the inner border strengthened, the fear dissolving, and allow your world to align with that now-present state of justice.
