Dissolving Esau's Inner Wisdom
Obadiah 1:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Obadiah 1:8 proclaims that the LORD will destroy the wise and the understanding from Edom, signaling a radical judgment that reaches into cultivated sight and discernment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the LORD speaks of a day when the old wise men and their understanding are swept away from the mount of Esau. Yet the inner Esau is not a geography but a state of mind—the stubborn mass of opinion that tells you what you cannot be, what you cannot see. In Neville fashion, I say: God is not an external executor but your I AM, your living awareness, the one that can revise its own memory. When you imagine yourself as the One who knows, the so-called wise are dissolved not by judgment from without but by an inward shift. The moment you accept that the 'wise' you trust is a created pattern, you displace it from its throne. The verse becomes a promise: you can destroy, in your inner vision, the mountain of Esau—the habitual counsel that keeps you from recognizing your unity with God. Thus judgment falls on the old illusions, and the fresh discernment of your true being arises as undying wisdom.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise a limiting belief as the I AM within you. Say, I dissolve the old wise men and awaken divine discernment, and feel it real now.
