Captivity Beyond Damascus
Amos 5:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Amos 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God proclaims that He will drive the people into captivity beyond Damascus. This is presented as a message of divine judgment that frames exile as a consequence of turning from true worship toward outward powers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, this word is not about a place but about your inner state. The LORD the God of hosts is the I AM within you, the awareness that has power. When you hear captivity, hear a belief that keeps you bound by appearances and distant from your true nature. Identifying with lack or fear travels you into a prison you have built yourself, but this is not punishment; it is a signal to revise. See that you are already free in the I AM, and exile dissolves when you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled here and now. The verse invites you to awaken to your sovereign state, to shift your inner geography from struggle to rest, from separation to unity, and to trust the power of consciousness that creates reality.
Practice This Now
Practice: Assume the feeling of your fulfilled state now, saying I AM free now and revise the belief I am exiled. Imagine stepping from exile into your inner temple of awareness and rest there in the felt sense of freedom.
