Inner Fortifications Revealed
Isaiah 2:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse lists high towers, fenced walls, ships, and pleasant pictures as outward signs of fortified pride and wealth. It points to a trust in externals rather than in true worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Isaiah's list is not a map of geography but a map of your inner horizon. The high towers, the fenced walls, the ships of Tarshish, and the pleasant pictures are the outward signs of inner convictions you take to be safe. They are not 'out there' in the nations; they are the thoughts you cherish as security in your own mind. When you trust those forms—wealth and status, appearances and possessions—you unknowingly surrender your life to a hollow economy of fear. The prophecy ends up revealing that the only fortress worth calling on is the I AM within you, the consciousness that never sleeps. The work is a revision: claim that the I AM is your true wealth, your lasting protection, your unshakable peace. Feel abundance arising from your inner state rather than from towers or ships. See the outer city dissolve into light as you awaken to your real state. True worship, then, is the inner alignment—living as if God and you are one here and now, and letting that awareness govern every moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the state of I AM as your only fortress and wealth. Close your eyes and imagine a city of light where walls dissolve and abundance wells up from within.
