Neville Goddard on Isaiah 15:5-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 15 in context

Scripture Focus

5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

Isaiah 15:5-9

Biblical Context

Moab is depicted in distress—refugees, drought, and cries of destruction. The text portrays a scene that can be read as a symbol of an inner state under judgment and pressure.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mystic reader, these lines are not about Moab out there, but about your inner Moab — the state of consciousness that clings to outward security while awareness grows thirsty. The cry for Moab, the fleeing fugitives, and the desolate waters of Nimrim are the inner conditions when imagination has forgotten its source. Luhith’s ascent with weeping, Horonaim’s cries, these are the movements of mind under stress, the belief that what is valued can be fleetingly lost. The brook of the willows, where abundance should have flowed, is carried away by the very thought that life is scarce. Dimon, with blood in its waters, signals the threatening dream thoughts that pursue the escaped self. Yet the passage invites you to notice: your inner world produces these events; you can reverse by assuming a new state, by entering awareness that abundance, vitality, and divine protection are always present in I AM. When you identify with the I AM as your own consciousness, the drought dissolves, the cry softens into quiet trust, and the inner land awakens to restoration.
