Neville Goddard on Isaiah 29:22-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 29 in context

Scripture Focus

22Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

23But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

Isaiah 29:22-23

Biblical Context

God promises Jacob will not be ashamed or pale. When he sees the fruit of the divine hand in him, his people will sanctify God's name and the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jacob is your current self-concept; the Lord who redeemed Abraham is the I AM within, the eternal life behind your thoughts. You are told Jacob shall not be ashamed; this is a declaration about your inner disposition, not merely circumstance. When you behold the children—the tangible results of the hands of God—inside you, you witness the sanctification of God's name. These offspring cleanse your notion of self, sanctifying the Holy One of Jacob within you, and awaken a holy fear of the God of Israel as reverence for your own Source. In Neville's psychology, the outer world mirrors your inner state: the more you dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, the more fear dissolves and your life becomes a sanctified instrument through which the sacred is made manifest.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already witnessing the fruits of God's handiwork in your life. In the next minute, feel the I AM looking through your own eyes at its offspring and silently bless the sacred in you, letting fear fade as confidence rises.
