Neville Goddard on Isaiah 21:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

9And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

10O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

Isaiah 21:9-10

Biblical Context

A messenger proclaims that Babylon's idols are fallen and broken; the speaker then recalls what was heard from the LORD and declares it. The passage points to the inner dissolution of false images and the dawning of a harvest of truth within.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Isaiah's words, I respond as consciousness. The chariot and horsemen are the moving pictures of thought in the mind. When the voice declares Babylon is fallen, it is not a history lesson but a spiritual diagnosis: the old idols inside you crumble and reveal the I AM as sole power. The breaking of the graven images symbolizes ceasing to worship images or forms as realities; you witness their collapse and feel a return of life to your essential awareness. The threshing floor and the corn of the floor signify your inner harvest—the discipline of attention that separates what nourishes from what does not. The line about hearing from the LORD and declaring it becomes a present practice: you have heard and now declare the truth of the I AM to yourself. As you persist in the belief that the I AM is all, external images lose authority and your life aligns with that inner revelation, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and visualize a chariot of thoughts riding away, while you affirm, 'Babylon is fallen'; feel the threshing floor of your mind become clear as the I AM fills the space.
