Tower Fire of Inner Judgment

Judges 9:46-49 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 9 in context

Scripture Focus

46And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
47And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
48And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
49And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Judges 9:46-49

Biblical Context

The tower’s defenders gather and Abimelech leads them to burn the hold, killing many. It is a stark siege story of fortress and collapse, highlighting judgment and consequence.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the tower is not stone but a pattern of thought within your consciousness—your defenses, fears, and old stories. Abimelech represents a decisive act of the I AM within you, the point of view that commands change. The axe-cutting of the bough signals a cutting away of habit; the fire that follows is the alchemical clearing by which the old structure is consumed from within. When the voice says, 'What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done,' you awaken to the truth that you alone command the image that forms your world. The thousands who die are the beliefs and attachments that cannot persist in the light of a new state. As you hold to a renewed inner posture, the tower falls not by external force but by your inner alignment with the Kingdom of God—the awareness that you are the I AM, the power by which reality is imagined and reimagined. The moral is simple: revise inside, and the outside follows, with justice clear and inevitable.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and visualize the tower of your current belief; cut away the supporting bough and watch it burn, releasing the old fear. Then feel the new state of I AM awareness rising within you, as if the kingdom is already yours.
