Neville Goddard on Amos 3:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Amos 3:1-6

Biblical Context

God speaks to Israel about their unique covenant and the consequences of their iniquities. The passage frames events as a testimony to inner alignment with the divine order: two cannot walk together unless there is agreement.

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos presents a people convinced of a distant, external covenant while forgetting the living I AM within. In this Neville reading, God is not a distant judge but the awareness you call I AM; 'you only have I known' marks the inward covenant that must be kept. If two can walk together, it is because their two states of consciousness have consensed; when they do not, you feel separation as punishment, not because God imposes it, but because your inner alignment has shifted. The animal imagery—the lion, the bird, the snare—are symbols of inner movements: pride, fear, habit, and projection that trap the soul. The trumpet blown in the city is your inner alarm at misalignment; the question 'shall there be evil... hath not done it' translates as: nothing occurs outside your inner agreement with the I AM. To live in the truth of Amos is to return to harmony by choice: align your mind with the one Presence, and the world you inhabit rearranges to reflect that unity.

Practice This Now

Assume in this moment that you and the I AM are perfectly agreed. Repeat softly, 'We are one; I am in harmony with divine order,' and feel the unity settle in as real.
