Neville Goddard on Hosea 5:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

Hosea 5:7-9

Biblical Context

Israel has betrayed the LORD, taking on strange practices. A trumpet sounds a call to wakefulness, foretelling desolation and the day of rebuke.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5:7-9 speaks not of distant lands but of an inner drama of consciousness. The betrayal is a turning away from the LORD within, birthing strange beliefs and habits that feel foreign to your true self. The 'desolation' and 'rebuke' indicate what happens when you confront these possibilities with honest awareness; the trumpet-call in Gibeah and Ramah is the call to wake up, to listen to the I AM rather than the voice of lack or separation. When you comply by turning inward, you reveal that your outer judgments and exiles are simply manifestations of inner states. The claim 'Ephraim shall be desolate' becomes the moment you strip away the illusions and discover your one, indivisible God-consciousness. The known, that which 'shall surely be,' is the alignment of your mind with the divine Presence. So, take up the practice: assume the state of true worship now, revise any sense of division, and feel it real that you are one with the I AM within. Your world becomes a trumpet, calling you home to consciousness.
