Neville Goddard on Isaiah 28:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 28 in context

Scripture Focus

1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

2Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

Isaiah 28:1-2

Biblical Context

Isaiah 28:1-2 pronounces woe on pride and the drunk, and foresees the Lord arriving as a mighty storm to cast down the proud. This invites us to view upheaval as an inner correction within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the crown of pride sits as a habitual image of superiority, the drunkard of Ephraim relying on wine to prop up a beauty fading like a flower. The mighty and strong one is not an external army but the inner decree of your I AM, the awareness that can move like a tempest, hail, and flood sweeping away the old ego channels. When you dwell in the assumption of separation, the storm comes as judgment—correction that breaks the glassy image so your true self stands revealed. The storm is not punishment but a crisis of consciousness that clears space for the new design you have already imagined. As you persist in the feeling of I AM and imagine the inner heavens parting, the faded beauty falls away and your inner valleys become clean, filled with the awareness that never ceased to be.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and rest in the feeling I AM as your only reality; revise the thought I am prideful into I AM the observer who stands above the storm and allows it to pass, revealing inner calm.
