Read Deuteronomy 28 in context

Scripture Focus

23And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

24The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

Deuteronomy 28:23-24

Biblical Context

The passage presents heaven as brass and earth as iron, signaling a hardened, unyielding consciousness where blessing withholds and destruction looms.

Neville's Inner Vision

Look upon Deuteronomy 28:23-24 as a map of your inner weather. Heaven that is brass and earth that is iron are states of consciousness, not distant places. When you believe the I AM cannot move in your life, rain is withheld and the world feels powder-dusty, a sign that your inner alignment is broken. Yet you are not at the mercy of outer conditions; you are the dreamer who can revise from within. By returning attention to the I AM, you revise the 'desolation' as a misperception of lack and feel the sky clear and the ground yield as your awareness shifts. The covenant is simply the recognition that God within is always present, and your awareness can re-embellish experience with faith, expectancy, and the assumption of fulfilled desire. As you dwell in that awareness, the external world follows the revision, and the brass becomes a soft, living canopy and the iron earth a friendly soil.

Practice This Now

Take a moment and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: I AM the source of all abundance. See the brass sky dissolving into a clear blue and the iron earth softening into fertile ground, then imagine rain as nourishing showers blessing your life.
