Conquering Inner Ashdod
Isaiah 20:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 20 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes a year when an Assyrian commander attacked Ashdod and captured it.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the inner plane, a 'year' marks a decision point where belief, identity, and power shift. 'Ashdod' represents a defended center of your will, pride, or habit that you have treated as permanent. The arrival of 'Tartan' and the authority of 'Sargon' symbolize inner pressure that reveals the limits of your existing self-image. This is not a mere external siege but a parable: you are governed not by outside rulers but by your internal states. The 'taking' of Ashdod signifies the inner King—your I AM—asserting dominion and dissolving the fortress of limitation. In Neville's terms, the event mirrors your assumption: when you imagine yourself as already free and sovereign, the outer scene reflects that inner sovereignty. Judgment here is accountability to the I AM within; by embracing your authority, you cease playing the victim to circumstance. The outer campaign becomes a vivid image of inner alignment: you are the one who commands your inner kingdoms.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM the king of my inner Ashdod.' Feel the inner shift as you assume the sovereignty of the Kingdom within, and let the old fortress yield to your conscious authority.
