Inner Fire Of Isaiah 1:28-31

Isaiah 1:28-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

28And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Isaiah 1:28-31

Biblical Context

Isaiah declares that those who forsake the LORD will be consumed. Their outward idols and pride will fail, leaving them like a leafless oak and a garden without water, burning together with no one to quench.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner reading, the 'destruction' is the collapse of any life built on separation from the I AM — the true divine awareness that you are. The 'transgressors' and 'sinners' represent states of consciousness that forget who you truly are and try to wield life through fear or pride. The 'oaks' and 'gardens' symbolize rituals, symbols, or objects you have mistaken for life, attachments to forms rather than the living Presence. When you identify with these forms, your inner water dries up; you become as an oak whose leaf fadeth, a garden without water. The 'strong' can be your intellect, will, or ego; the 'maker' is the self who believes it creates life apart from God. But the verse warns that such energy, when it remains in separation, will burn up—like tow catching a spark—until there is nothing to quench the blaze. The remedy and the return are in turning your attention to the I AM within: the awareness that never departs from you. When you assume that you are the living Word within, the external 'destruction' dissolves into peaceful alignment, and you experience true worship as felt reality inside.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and silently affirm I AM. See the oaks and gardens dissolve into living water within you as you rest in the awareness that you are the I AM.
