Inner Rebuke, Outer Revolt
Hosea 5:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Hosea 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Hosea 5:2 names a deep inner rebellion against correction, describing how those who resist guidance prepare a path of harm. The verse invites us to see rebellion as an inner state that God, the I AM, rebukes with love.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your consciousness, the revolters are the stubborn thoughts and habits that riot against the rebuke of your higher self. They imagine themselves as slayers, acting out what they fear or deny, yet the I AM—your true divine self—has been the constant rebuker, calling you back to order. The phrase 'the revolters are profound to make slaughter' is not about external violence; it is a warning that resistance to inner correction becomes a self-inflicted destruction of possibilities. When you accept that all rebuke is an act of love from your higher man, you can revise your script: the 'slaughter' you dread is the dissolution of a belief you no longer need. The presence that disciplines is the same presence that blesses; there is no separation between the rebuker and the rebuked. To live this, assume the state that you are already aligned with divine order; feel that the consciousness you are is open to correction, and that correction is the I AM reshaping a new pattern within you. In that assumption, revolts become obedience, fear yields to faith, and the inner theater becomes a stepping-stone to wholeness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM as your present self. Declare that the revolters within you are transformed into obedience and loving guidance, and feel that new state as already real.
