Neville Goddard on Isaiah 22:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 22 in context

Scripture Focus

9Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

11Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

Isaiah 22:9-11

Biblical Context

It speaks of a city fortified by human planning—walls, waters gathered, and houses demolished—while neglecting the one who made them. The message warns that reliance on outward structures without acknowledging the maker leaves the inner life vulnerable.

Neville's Inner Vision

Breaches and fortifications in Isaiah are not only external acts but states of consciousness. They reveal a mind convinced security comes from clever plans, material walls, and regulated waters. Yet to 'look unto the maker' is to shift attention to the inner creator, the I AM that fashions every moment. When you trust form over Source, you build a ditch between your seen and unseen self, cutting life off from its source. In Neville's terms, you must identify with the assumption that you are the creator of your circumstances through a transformed inner state. The breach is healed not by rebuilding on the outside but by aligning with the inner designer, feeling the truth that the maker resides within and that you can revise any situation by a change of consciousness. Your present experience is the announcement of your state; revise now to embody the I AM as your living reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and imagine the inner city thriving under the I AM. Revise any belief in external walls and feel the maker within guiding every moment.
