Neville Goddard on Isaiah 27:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 27 in context

Scripture Focus

10Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

Isaiah 27:10-11

Biblical Context

The fortified city becomes desolate; habitation is forsaken and left like a wilderness. The passage condemns a people of no understanding and reveals the collapse of outward idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

This verse speaks to a state of consciousness, not a map of lands. When your outer defenses harden, your inner life withdraws its nourishment from the old calf of security and the branches of mere form. The calf feeding and lying there are your images of safety formed by thought instead of the I AM. The withered boughs that are broken off mark the severing of trust in idols that pretend to sustain you. The women setting them on fire symbolize the purging of ritual that has no root in inner knowing. Yet desolation is not punishment but a summons to awaken to your true identity—the I AM that you are. When you claim that reality, the desolate city flowers into a living temple. Mercy returns as alignment with consciousness, and the inner kingdom rises from imagination as your new, felt reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm 'I AM' as your sole reality, and revise the scene: the fortified city dissolves into a garden of living awareness; feel the I AM replacing idols and awaken to a fresh inner kingdom.
