Neville Goddard on Isaiah 19:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 19 in context

Scripture Focus

19In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

20And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

Isaiah 19:19-20

Biblical Context

The verse describes an inner altar and pillar within a state of bondage, serving as a sign and witness that calls on God, who responds with a savior to deliver.

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt represents a condition of mind bound by fear and limitation. The altar to the LORD and the pillar at the border are not literal stones but inner fixtures: deliberate acts of worship and clear points of orientation within consciousness. The altar signifies unwavering devotion to the I AM, while the pillar marks the boundary where attention remains anchored in Truth. The phrase a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts becomes inner confirmations that the Source is ever-present, even amid oppression. When the mind cries to the LORD, the savior arrives not as external rescue but as a shift in belief—a new assumption that changes perception. Deliverance is not distant; it is the immediate experience of freedom as you adopt the belief, I am the savior, I am delivered now. Your task is to hold these inner structures steadily in awareness and feel the relief as if the change has already occurred, right here, right now.
