Neville Goddard on Amos 9:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 9 in context

Scripture Focus

7Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

Amos 9:7-8

Biblical Context

Amos 9:7-8 speaks of God noting the nations and judging the sinful kingdom, yet sparing the faithful house of Jacob. It points to an inner law: awareness sees all but preserves the core self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'eyes of the Lord' not as a distant judge but as your own awareness fixed upon a state. The 'sinful kingdom' is a habit of fear or guilt that seems to rule your days. When the Lord says He will destroy it, He means the old, reactive self dissolving in the light of your true being. Yet the text also speaks of not utterly destroying the house of Jacob—an inner remnant that cannot be annihilated by any dream. Jacob is your divine self, the living idea in God that you are already saved, already secure, and always connected to the Source. As you hold your attention on that inner kingdom, the outer picture loosens its grip and is rearranged to match the inner truth. You are both the observer and the agent of this pruning; revise your sense of self, recall past deliverances, and feel, here and now, the reality of your wholeness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and repeat a revision: I am Jacob, preserved by the eyes of God; all fear and guilt dissolve in this awareness. Then feel the sense of deliverance as real in my chest.
