Visitation of the Inner Altars

Amos 3:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Amos 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
Amos 3:13-15

Biblical Context

Amos warns that God will confront Israel's outward worship and its altars. The symbols of opulence—winter and summer houses, ivory palaces—will be brought to an end.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the passage, the day of visitation is not a distant judgment but a moment your consciousness awakens to its own authority. The altars Bethel stands for are your fixed patterns of desire and picture you keep returning to; when God says He will visit their horns and topple them, He describes the collapse of stubborn beliefs that keep you tethered to an imagined external control. The winter house and the summer house symbolize shifting seasons of mood and want—outer luxuries and appearances that promise security but reveal their fragility once the inner witness is awake. The ivory houses and great houses are your grand but hollow concepts about yourself; they perish when you stop feeding them with fear and attachment. What remains is the one God within, the I AM, the owner of all inner temples. Your task is to align with that vision, revise old idols, and feel the truth of your sovereignty as a present, living fact.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the ruler of your inner temple and revise by repeating: I AM the God of hosts within me. Let the old altars fall.
