Inner Kingdom Reversal
Isaiah 11:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse foresees a reversal of natural order: predators and prey share nourishment and even the lion's appetite becomes gentle, signaling peace within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold this image as a symbol of your inner life. The cow and bear stand for instincts that have fed on one another's fears; in the I AM you witness them co-feeding and lying down together, not by force but by inner alignment. The lion, mighty will and desire, now eats straw like the ox, nourished by the same life that feeds all, not by conquest but by surrender to a higher order. This is the Kingdom of God within you, a reversal of old appetites and a renewal of your inner weather. Do not seek it far away. Allow your imagination to register a present moment where every part of you is fed, at peace, and in harmony with One Life. The New Creation is simply your waking to the truth that all aspects of life are one with the I AM you dwell in.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM. Visualize the animals lying together and the lion eating straw; feel the peace as if it is true now.
