Inner Year, Outer Shifts

Isaiah 21:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

16For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
Isaiah 21:16-17

Biblical Context

The Lord declares that within a year the external glory of Kedar will fail and the remaining strength of its archers will be diminished, signaling a shift from outward power to inward truth. It points to an inner-realignment that redefines your outward life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the consciousness of the I AM, Isaiah speaks to you, the inner self. The glory of Kedar is the outward wealth, strength, and reputation you have trusted as security. When the LORD says within a year all that glory shall fail, He reveals the law of inner rhythm: as you abandon identification with the seen, the seen reveals its true nature and dissolves. The residue of archers—the stubborn habits of defense, pride, and control—diminishes, not by force, but by a shift of identity. The verse is a promise, not a threat: your inner king rises in proportion to the outer forms falling away. Change occurs when you acknowledge you are the I AM, the awareness that commands your world. Time bows to the act of consciousness; the moment you insist upon the truth, the outer follows the inner completion. The year marks a completed mental cycle, and its effect is immediate in consciousness, so that what you once deemed permanent now yields to a more spacious reality. The LORD God of Israel—the self that knows you as I AM—has spoken it, and it is done.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM' is the ruler of my world; feel the inner certainty that the old Kedar glory is receding and that a new inner state already governs my outward conditions.
