Inner Judgment of Zidon
Isaiah 23:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage speaks of judgment falling on Zidon and Tarshish, signaling the end of outward rejoicing and strength; it invites a shift from external props to inner readiness and rest. It highlights that the apparent collapse of kingdoms exposes inner realities that must be faced in consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you this prophecy speaks of a former self clinging to external signs of security. When the oppressed virgin of Zidon is told to arise and pass over to Chittim, it is the inner urge to leave familiar props and enter a space of unknown possibility—the kingdom found in consciousness alone. The land of the Chaldeans represents the mind’s habitual structures of power and culture, imagined as necessary for safety, which were not real until your habit of imagination founded them. You yourself set up towers and palaces in thought, and when awakening occurs, those constructions crumble. The cry of the ships of Tarshish reveals that the strength you trusted outwardly—money, status, security—cannot save you from unveiling a true presence. The judgment is thus a gracious turning, urging you to claim the I AM presence here and now, finding rest not in place but in awareness. The world you lament dissolves as you realize it is the dream your awareness has accepted and thus can alter.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare inwardly: I rest now in the I AM. Then spend 5 minutes feeling as if this rest is already yours, letting external signs fade in importance as you dwell in consciousness.
