Neville Goddard on Isaiah 11:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

Isaiah 11:6-8

Biblical Context

Isaiah 11:6-8 paints a vision of harmony where former adversaries dwell together. A child leads the peaceful order, signaling an inner transformation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the wolf and the lamb dwell together when you, the I AM, declare peace as your governing fact. The leopard and the kid lie down not by force but by recognizing a single truth: that fear is a forgetfulness of God in you. The little child leading them is your higher self—the childlike imagination that trusts and creates by feeling. When you enter this scene in imagination, you are not conjuring a dream to escape reality; you are confirming that this perfect order already exists as your inner state. The shift is not outward; it is a revision of your inner posture. By abiding as the I AM, you invite those fierce drives to find their rightful expression in harmony—predator and prey reconciled, danger transformed into safe play—and your outer life follows suit as the same inner condition.

Practice This Now

Enter the inner scene and assume I am the I AM that rules this peaceful kingdom; visualize the wolf lying with the lamb and feel the unwavering sense of safety and harmony.
