Neville Goddard on Isaiah 14:18-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

Isaiah 14:18-20

Biblical Context

All the kings' glory is outer; the verse shows an inner judgment falling on the one who destroys land and people. It points to accountability and the need for inner renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the kings and their glory as the surface of your own identity—titles, appearances, the crowd that approves. Yet the lesson is not their doom but your inner alignment: the one who harmed the land and people is a belief you have not yet reconciled with Life. In Neville's psychology, God is the I AM, the awareness that witnesses every crown and fear; when you live as if power comes from domination, you exile yourself from the ground of your true being. The 'cast out of thy grave' becomes a symbol: you cast out a memory-driven self you have refused to revise. The 'abominable branch' points to a stubborn thought you nourish; the sword-thrust and stones reveal the inner consequences of clinging to despair. But you can reverse this by choosing a new story: that you are already restored in the I AM, that the land and people of your consciousness are safe under divine order. The inner kingdom endures, and by present assumption you invite a rebirth that dissolves old harm. The seed of evildoers shall never be renowned in a mind that loves life, justice, and wholeness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and rest in the I AM. Assume 'I am whole, just, and restored,' feel it as real, and revise the belief that inner land can be destroyed; let this feeling of renewal settle into your cells.
