Read Jeremiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

13He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
Jeremiah 43:13

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 43:13 speaks of breaking the images of Bethshemesh and burning the houses of the gods of Egypt. It invites a shift from outward worship to inward awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, the command to break Bethshemesh and burn Egypt's gods becomes a map for consciousness. Bethshemesh images are the cherished pictures you carry of yourself, formed by social façades and external worship. The land of Egypt stands for the dream of separation—thoughts that you are small, bound, or dependent. The houses of the Egyptians are the habitual shrines of those beliefs: routines, opinions, and attachments you have treated as power. When you believe in them, they stand as inner altars; when you awaken, they are only relative pictures, not the reality of you. The act of breaking and burning is not punishment; it is your decision to revoke power from such images and to invite the I AM, your true Self, to occupy the throne of awareness. As you revise the assumption, you align with the one Presence that creates, and the inner weather changes. Your feelings loosen; the need to prove, defend, or fear dissolves. In that still center, true worship arises—simple, present, and whole—and the external scene follows as the imagination rests in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the Bethshemesh image dissolving into light. See the 'houses of the gods' in Egypt crumble and burn away, while you rest in the I AM.
