Igniting Damascus Within
Jeremiah 49:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 49 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 49:27 says God will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will consume Benhadad's palaces.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this verse, Damascus is the stubborn wall held up by the mind—habits, fears, and outward defenses. The fire is not vengeance but the living movement of I AM waking within you, turning attention from limitation toward release. Benhadad’s palaces symbolize the grand structures of ego and external authority you have protected with stubborn pictures of lack. When the inner fire kindles, these walls catch light and begin to crack; the belief that you are defined by old borders dissolves as heat reveals your true steadiness: awareness that you are, I AM, the power that creates by a single, unwavering assumption. The judgment spoken is really providence-guided cleansing, directing your imagination to burn away false identities so your desired state—fulfillment, harmony, realization—stands revealed as your natural posture of mind. Trust the process: the wall’s fire is the consciousness clarifying, not punishing; your world shifts as you embrace this inner activation and dwell in the feeling of what is already yours.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and repeat I AM. Visualize a bright fire along an inner wall labeled 'Damascus'; watch the wall crack and dissolve, while you feel the fulfilled desire already present within you.
