Inner Idols Revealed

Judges 18:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 18 in context

Scripture Focus

14Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
Judges 18:14

Biblical Context

Five spies report that Laish's houses contain an ephod, teraphim, a graven image, and a molten image, and they urge their brethren to decide what to do about them. This highlights the presence of inner idols demanding action.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's gaze, the ephod and the images are not mere household trinkets but inner pictures that govern your sense of self and reality. The five men are fragments of your own consciousness surfacing what you have allowed to rule you: identity pictures, habitual rites, and comforting idols that seem to secure safety. When they ask, 'Do ye know that there is in these houses...,' they point to structures you treat as real—the beliefs about yourself and the world you defend. The directive 'now therefore consider what ye have to do' invites a revision of your state of consciousness. True worship, in this sense, is not external ceremony but alignment with the I AM—the awareness that creates and sustains your life. If you revise your inner pictures and lay aside the idols, you awaken to a life shaped by imagination, guided by consciousness rather than attachment to images. By reimagining, you alter the outer order through inner realization that you are the creator of your reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state 'I am the I AM' and feel it as real; then visualize laying the idols to rest and stepping into true worship within awareness.
