Inner Fire Of Pure Worship
Numbers 16:35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Numbers 16:35, a divine fire consumes those who offered incense, illustrating that holiness and accountability begin within the inner life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's lens, this verse is an inner signal: the 'fire' is the burning focus of awareness that purges dissenting thoughts resisting the I AM. The two hundred fifty men symbolize split inner states and impulses claimed as self but not aligned with God within. The incense marks attention paid to form rather than truth; the consuming fire shows how decisive inner movement, governed by unwavering consciousness, clears the inner temple. Holiness and separation arise as inner boundaries, not distant punishment. Judgment becomes accountability: you measure what you allow in your mind and choose the living presence of the I AM. When you refuse outward ritualism and rest in the awareness that you are, you awaken the same purifying fire, burning away fear, doubt, and distraction until there remains a single, undeniable worship of the I AM within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are the I AM now; envision the dissenting impulses as dry tinder, consumed instantly by the flame of awareness. Feel the single truth of worship—the I AM—become your constant state.
