Desolation to Divine Order Within

Isaiah 14:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

23I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 14:23

Biblical Context

The verse proclaims that a place will be desolate and swept clean by destruction, a metaphor for judgment and the swift removal of what no longer serves.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 14:23 is not a threat to you but a map of your inner state. The besom of destruction sweeping the land represents the act of awareness clearing away old identities and memories that no longer serve. The bittern and stagnant pools symbolize a mind saturated with fear, lack, or doubt; yet this cleansing is not punishment but the appointment of a new order within your own I AM. When you recognize that the Lord of hosts dwells within, you see that every outer ruin, every empty space, is simply the old story being removed so a deeper unity can emerge. Your imagination, rightly guided, becomes the broom: you revise the scene by declaring that you possess the calm water of life and the land becomes fertile with divine order. The 'destruction' is your inner decision to stop dwelling on limitation and to identify with the reality of your true state—love, supply, and guidance. In this way, desolation is turned into the setting for a fresh manifestation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, affirm 'I am the Lord of hosts within; I now clear the land of limitation and pour living waters.' Revise a current scene where desolation looms by replacing it with a refreshed landscape and feel the feeling of divine order right now.
