Banner on the Mind Mountain
Isaiah 13:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 13:2-5 portrays God lifting a banner on a high mountain, calling sanctified and mighty ones, and gathering the nations for a decisive judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your inner theater, the banner is a fixed idea planted on the highest vantage point of awareness. 'Lift ye up a banner' becomes you elevating a single, undeniable I AM thought above the bustle of mental traffic. The sanctified ones and the mighty ones are the refined states—the peace that passes understanding, the courage to stand in stillness, the discernment that quells fear—called forth to stand with you in alignment and joy. 'Mine anger' is not personal wrath but righteous discernment that rejects stories of doubt and collapse, rejoicing in the highness of your true nature. When the mountains resound with a tumult of nations, remember that the Lord of hosts is your inner governor, mustering the host of your faculties—memory, imagination, feeling, will—into orderly procession. The weapons of his indignation serve to dissolve the old land—the old condition—by the force of a single, sure assumption: that this situation is already in divine order. The outer destruction you fear is the inner clearing, making way for a new reality born from your consistent, loving use of imagination.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of the I AM, planting a fixed banner on the mind’s mountain and declaring, 'This is already done.' Stay with the feeling of it real for a few minutes, then proceed from that assured conclusion in daily acts.
