Neville Goddard on Isaiah 23:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 23 in context

Scripture Focus

15And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

16Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

17And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

Isaiah 23:15-17

Biblical Context

The passage foretells Tyre being forgotten for seventy years, then singing again like a harlot, and finally the Lord visits to bring renewal and align Tyre with the kingdoms of the world.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner-vision perspective, Tyre is a state of consciousness you have forgotten. The seventy years mark the long night you spend clinging to external images, while the harlot imagery invites you to perform for the world and entertain old desires. Yet a quiet visitation follows: the I AM within you comes to visit and awaken the buried riches. When you accept this season as your own, the forgotten state awakens, turns toward its hire, and begins to mingle with the kingdoms of the world no longer as a master but as a participant in a higher renewal. The seventy-year cycle is simply a rhythm in which your attention loosens from mere appearances, allowing inner reality to reconstitute itself. As you align with the I AM, you discover that renewal is not a future event but an inner shift you inaugurate now through awareness and revision.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the forgotten inner state; declare, 'I am the I AM, and this state is being visited and renewed now.' Feel the breakthrough as you revise the memory of yourself.
