Inner Transgression Of Jacob
Micah 1:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Micah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Micah 1:5 names the transgression as the sins of Jacob and Israel, visible in Samaria and Jerusalem as outer idols and high places.
Neville's Inner Vision
The prophet speaks not of distant places but of inner states. Samaria and Jerusalem symbolize your mind's outward pretenses to worship while neglecting the one God within. The 'transgression' is a habit of identification with form--dreams of safety, power, or ritual--that you mistake for reality. Neville Goddard would say: awaken to the I AM that you are, the undivided consciousness in which all things appear. When you imagine Samaria and Jerusalem as external centers, you project separation; when you revise by the I AM, these idols dissolve and your inner kingdom is seen as the sole reality. The judgement invites you to own responsibility for your inner world, knowing that your experiences are responses of mind to belief. As you hold to the awareness that God is within, the outward 'transgressions' lose their power, and the sense of division fades. Your inner state becomes your outward form, so change the state, and the world changes.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I am the I AM as your only reality, and feel the oneness dissolving every idol as you dwell in that presence.
