Neville Goddard on Amos 2:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

2But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

3And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

4Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

5But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

6Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

Amos 2:1-6

Biblical Context

Amos declares that Moab, Judah, and Israel face punishment for distinct wrongs: violence toward Edom's king, despising the law, and selling the righteous and the poor. The message is that justice follows actions and inner choices carry visible consequences.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the 'Thus saith the LORD' is the voice of your own I AM speaking within. The three transgressions are not distant histories but inner attitudes that bring forth fire and turmoil in your life. Moab's bone-burning speaks of vanity and cruelty projected outward; Judah's breaking of the law signals a heart that rules by surface appearances and external commandments rather than inner alignment; Israel's selling of the righteous and the poor reveals greed and callousness that undervalues true worth. When you identify with these states, you invite inner fires—the breaking of your outer palaces—symbolic of the collapse of defended positions and the end of comfort zones. The divine verdict is not punishment for punishment's sake but a purification: as you insist on separation, you awaken resistance; as you repent and align with the I AM, the fire becomes a clearing and you regain the capacity to judge righteously with the true judge within. Sit with the awareness that you are the law, and you are also its enforcement; choose to embody justice in every thought and action.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the I AM, the governing reality of your life. Revise any outward judgment into inner acceptance, and feel it real that you are unconditionally just.
