Neville Goddard on Isaiah 2:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaiah 2:3-4

Biblical Context

Isaiah 2:3-4 invites all to ascend to the LORD to be taught his ways, foreseeing a peace where nations cease war and fear is transformed into constructive action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the mountain of the LORD stands as a steadfast state of awareness. When you say Come, let us go up, you are choosing to rise in consciousness above fear and division. The house of the God of Jacob becomes the sanctuary of your own attention; the ways and paths of the LORD are the habitual thoughts and feelings you consent to as truth. Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem, meaning the law is not a scroll to be recited but a living principle that governs your inner reactions; when you align with that law your mind walks in its paths. He shall judge among the nations, and rebuke many people; this is inner judgment of thoughts, letting go of hostility and mistrust. The image of swords into plowshares is the transformation of fighting impulses into productive, creative ones; the outer world mirrors the cleared interior. Peace becomes a present occupancy, not an event, and ceasing to learn war implies you no longer feed conflict in your imagination.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already on the mountain and listening to the divine counsel. Envision swords melting into plowshares in your inner landscape and feel that peace as real in your chest.
