Neville Goddard on Isaiah 3:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

Isaiah 3:13-14

Biblical Context

God rises to plead and judge the people. The leaders are charged with greed, having eaten the vineyard and kept the spoil of the poor in their own houses.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet of your I AM, the LORD that stands up to plead and judge is your own consciousness awakening to justice. The ancients and princes are your fixed habits—those stubborn beliefs that run your day and govern your sense of worth. When you notice any urge to hoard wealth or to see others as separate from your supply, you are witnessing the spoil of the poor within your own house. This is not punishment but a calling to revise. The coming of the I AM is not a threat but a revelation that you can withdraw loyalty from fear and invest it in imaginative reality. By choosing to see abundance as your natural state and as a shared gift, you turn that judgment into a conversion: scarcity gives way to generous use, and your inner world reflects harmony instead of contradiction. The inner court declares what you accept as real; therefore you may repeat, in the privacy of your mind, I AM the I AM, and abundance is mine to share.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the I AM; abundance flows through me and is shared with all. Then revise any sense of scarcity by picturing the vineyard restored and the poor cared for—feel it as real.
