Neville Goddard on Isaiah 24:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 24 in context

Scripture Focus

4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Isaiah 24:4-6

Biblical Context

Earth mourns and fades; the world languishes because inhabitants have transgressed the laws and broken the everlasting covenant. A curse follows, leaving desolation and a thin remnant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the inward gospel: the earth you see is your own state of consciousness, a living map of what you believe about yourself and the world. When you transgress the laws you hold in mind, when you change the ordinance by doubt, you invite a desolation into your inner land—the curse devouring the soil of your days. Notice the phrase ‘the everlasting covenant’: not a distant contract but a timeless agreement you make with your I AM, the awareness that you are the one who feels and imagines. To dwell in rebellion against harmony is to suffer exile from your true kingdom, to watch the land burn with unneeded fear and scarcity. Yet the turn of the page is yours: by assuming the end in present tense, by aligning your inner statements with wholeness, you restore the covenant and invite new order to arise from within. The remnant you seek is simply the steadfast state of consciousness that remains when you refuse to doubt.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the end: you are in harmony with the everlasting covenant; feel the sense of wholeness in every part of you; speak and act from the I AM in you. Revise one recent fear by declaring, 'I am whole; the land of my life is restored,' and let that feeling sink in.
