Neville Goddard on Isaiah 24:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 24 in context

Scripture Focus

1Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

Isaiah 24:1-3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 24:1-3 describes the earth becoming empty and turned upside down, affecting all levels of society; it culminates with the land being utterly spoiled as the Lord has spoken.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the world as a mirror of your soul. Isaiah 24:1-3 speaks of a land emptied and scattered, yet this is not a judgment from without, but a summons from within. When you feel everything go dry—the people, the priests, the masters and the brokers—it is your own mind telling you that your habitual identification with lack, fear, or separation has vacated its throne. The I AM within you, the eternal ruler, is simply asking you to revise the interior weather. Do not resist the desolation; welcome it as a clearing. In imagination, you return to the state in which you already possess what you seek. Announce to yourself, 'I am complete. This land now reflects wholeness.' As you dwell in that assumption, the outer scene will follow, shifting from barren scattering to a new abundance. Remember: you are not changing God’s plan; you are refusing to live in a lie about yourself. Your inner kingdom reorganizes your outward world when you believe it is so.
