Inner City Fire and Glory

Habakkuk 2:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Habakkuk 2 in context

Scripture Focus

12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:12-14

Biblical Context

The passage condemns violent conquest and vain labor, while promising that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD's glory. It points to an inner transformation as the true movement of creation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the land around you as a field within your own consciousness. Habakkuk’s woe to the builder of towns with blood speaks to a mind that dredges power through domination and fear, stacking thoughts into toil and trouble. Yet the real creation is not external empire but inner awareness. When you perceive that the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as waters cover the sea, you are not awaiting a distant event but answering an inner invitation to turn inward. The LORD of hosts is the I AM within you, the source of every labor and every vanity. If you revise the belief that life is a constant struggle for advantage, you cool the fiery thoughts you have stoked. As you rest in the realization that God’s glory fills all, the inner waters rise to cover seas of limitation. In that shift, the outward world mirrors your inner illumination, not by conquest but by the harmonious alignment of your state with the truth that you are that glory.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In stillness, declare I AM as the observer of all; revise, 'The glory of the LORD fills my world now.' Then feel the truth permeate your body and surroundings.
