Neville Goddard on Amos 6:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 6 in context

Scripture Focus

3Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

Amos 6:3-4

Biblical Context

The passage condemns those who postpone the evil day and indulge in luxury while violence and injustice draw near.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's mode, Amos reveals a state of consciousness rather than mere external behavior. The 'evil day' put far away is the mind's refusal to own responsibility, and the 'seat of violence' near is the inner impulse that justifies harm through comfort. The ivory beds and couches symbolize a mind built on ease at others' expense, where abundance is mistaken for virtue while justice is neglected. This is a call to revise the self: to assume a new I AM that is just, compassionate, and provision-filled. If you truly assume the right state, the day of integrity is not future but now; you feel the reality of justice, not as struggle but as inner alignment. Wealth and provision follow from this consciousness: not by hoarding, but by living from a capacity to serve without cruelty. When you embody this I AM, the inner violence dissolves and harmony, health, and fair abundance become your lived experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. Assume the day of justice is already here; feel the I AM as your present, abundant consciousness and revise any fear of lack until it collapses into peace.
