Neville Goddard on Amos 9:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 9 in context

Scripture Focus

2Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

3And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

Amos 9:2-3

Biblical Context

Amos 9:2-3 proclaims that there is nowhere people can hide from God’s reach: even in hell, heaven, high mountains, or deep seas, the divine search and judgment permeate all.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of your inner landscape. Amos speaks of the hand that digs into hell and pulls, that brings heaven down, that searches Carmel and the bottom of the sea. In Neville's terms, this is not punitive geography but the omnipresence of the I AM within your own consciousness. The 'digging' and 'searching' are movements of awareness within you; places—hell, heaven, the heights of Carmel, the depths of the sea—are states of mind you entertain. When you resist or deny, you expose a split in your consciousness; the I AM remains aware of every thought and feeling and will not be deflected by belief. The verse urges you to realize that no corner of your mind can escape the divine attention; thus you can revise fear, lack, or pride by assuming the end you desire as already real. The God in you can bring judgment on self deception and liberate true prosperous life through a steady inner posture of I AM present awareness.

Practice This Now

Choose a current fear or lack and revise it by assuming the end is already true, feeling it real in the heart as the I AM weaves your thoughts into manifestation.
