Neville Goddard on Isaiah 29:22-24 - 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.

24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Isaiah 29:22-24

Biblical Context

God promises that Jacob will not be ashamed, and that when the people see the work of God's hands within them, they will sanctify God's name. Those who erred will gain understanding and those who murmured will learn doctrine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Isaiah’s note, the 'house of Jacob' is your inner state of awareness. The Lord who redeemed Abraham is the higher self that reclaims you from fear and doubt. When you behold 'the work of mine hands' in the midst of you, you are witnessing your own inner creation—habits, responses, and forms born of living consciousness—being sanctified through attention. To sanctify My name is to align your inner life with the truth that you are not separate from God; you are the I AM moving as light through every thought and feeling. The 'Holy One of Jacob' is the sacred you reverencing the God of Israel—the inner life you respect with awe and confidence. Those who erred in spirit are invited to a shift in perception—an inner revision that replaces limitation with new understanding. Those who murmured shall learn doctrine as the mind quiets and receives a fresh interpretation of its past. None of this is external ritual; it is an inner practice: assume the state, feel it real, and let perception align with the truth of your divine nature.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the feeling 'I am the I AM, the work of God’s hands is holy in me.' Visualize the inner aspects as bright, recognized, and sanctified, then rest in the sense that understanding and peace have taken possession of your mind.
