Banner on the Mind Mountain

Isaiah 13:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

2Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Isaiah 13:2-5

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.
