Inner Fire of Judah
Amos 2:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Amos 2:5 presents a fire that will devour Judah's palaces in Jerusalem, signaling judgment and accountability. In Neville's frame, that fire is a cleansing movement within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this passage, the fire is not an external catastrophe but the alchemical crucible of awareness. Judah represents the inner state of devotion and attention; the palaces are outward forms—habits, reputations, and beliefs—built in the dream of separation. When the I AM awakens to itself, the fire comes to devour these palaces not to ruin you but to purify your consciousness. Judgment becomes discernment: you notice a thought that claims, 'this is who I am,' and permit it to burn away, leaving a simple, undeniable I AM premise. In Neville's method, God is the I AM within; imagination is the instrument by which you revise reality. As you hold the vision that you are already the I AM, the flame dissolves the old sense of self and reveals your true inner kingdom, a realm of peace that forms your experience. The fire demonstrates that form follows consciousness, not the other way around.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare I AM, and imagine a warm inner flame devouring the old palaces of thought—doubt, pride, fear—until only the temple of awareness remains, breathing as your life.
