Neville Goddard on Isaiah 2:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

Isaiah 2:13-14

Biblical Context

The passage names the cedars, oaks, mountains, and hills as lofty symbols. It signals that such outer heights are to be judged.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, these high things are not distant places but states of consciousness you have welcomed into your life as pride, status, and security. The Cedars of Lebanon, tall and lifted up, represent an inflated sense of self — images you project to prove your worth. The Oaks of Bashan and the mountains and hills are the fixed arrangements of your life that seem sturdy, permanent, and superior to others. The text is not predicting a future judgment from an external power; it invites you to look inward and notice what you have enthroned in your imagination as great. When you identify with these outer elevations, you are insisting that reality conforms to appearance rather than to the I AM within. The Kingdom of God, the true order of your being, already reigns as your essential nature; it is simply not acknowledged when you bow to the heights. The promise is the reversal: you can revise these images by assuming the feeling of the kingdom now, sensing the I AM above every height and letting it command your inner landscape.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of quiet, assume the feeling that I AM is the ruler of every height inside you; imagine lowering the towering trees, mountains, and hills into your chest where they are understood as thoughts to be managed by the inner kingdom.
