Neville Goddard on Amos 2:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Amos 2:4-5

Biblical Context

Amos warns that Judah will be punished for despising the LORD's law and not keeping his commandments; their fathers' ways have led them astray, and a fire will devour Jerusalem's palaces.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos speaks not to distant kingdoms but to the inward man who calls himself Judah. The three transgressions are not only legal breaches but inner refusals to heed the Father's (I AM) law within. When you despise the law of the LORD, you turn away from the constant guidance of your own awareness; when you do not keep his commandments, you neglect the daily discipline that preserves harmony in thought and feeling; and the lies that caused your fathers to err denote the habitual stories you tell yourself to justify separation. The punishment, then, is not a mere external fire, but the natural fallout of a mind that has forgotten who it is. The fire that devours the palaces of Jerusalem symbolizes purification of consciousness: outer structures fall away as old alignments are burned away, making space for a new, integrated life. This is not doom, but inner rearrangement: you are treated by your own inner law as you align with the I AM and keep the commandments written on your heart.

Practice This Now

Assume now in present tense: I am the Law of the LORD within me; I keep his commandments in my heart. Close your eyes and feel the inner fire purify thought, allowing your outer life to reflect greater order.
