Inner City Awakening Isaiah 13:20

Isaiah 13:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

20It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
Isaiah 13:20

Biblical Context

Isaiah 13:20 proclaims a city so desolate that no one will dwell there for generations. In Neville's language, that is a symbol of an inner state that has lost its felt life and grip on reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, this oracle becomes a map of consciousness. A city that shall never be inhabited again marks the end of a former dream treated as real. In the I AM sense, the decree invites you to revise from within: you are the ruler of the inner landscape, and this desolation is the signpost that an old self has outgrown. The ‘Arabian pitch tent there’ and the ‘shepherds make their fold’ are not places on a map but roles—fear, habit, and identity—that no longer govern your life. When you refuse to consent to the old sentence, exile becomes return: you cast out the belief that you are nothing and invite the memory of your true dwelling, I AM, to occupy every chamber. The judgment of the outer world becomes a promise of renewal, not ruin: the exiles in your mind are returned, and your inner city reopens to life. Remember: imagination is the architect; belief in the old desolation is the door you unlock with a simple, steadfast I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: I AM the city that dwells in me now; I revoke the old desolation and feel the inner streets bathed in light. Rest there and repeat 'I AM' until the sense of occupancy becomes your felt reality.
