Neville Goddard on Isaiah 30:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

Isaiah 30:12-14

Biblical Context

Isaiah 30:12-14 warns that despising truth and trusting in oppressive outcomes creates a self-made wall that swells and breaks suddenly, like a shattered potter's vessel with no fragment to retrieve anything from the pit.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard sense, the Holy One of Israel is the I AM within you. To despise this word is to resist the Word as the law of your own consciousness, and to trust in external conditions that seem to secure you while they bind you to fear. The wall of beliefs you fashion swells, yet its bursting is not punishment but a doorway into a higher state of awareness. The potter's vessel represents your life formed by thought; when it breaks, there is no shard to fetch fire or water from the pit—no external supply can reach you while you identify with a separated self. The invitation is to awaken, revise, and allow the Word to reign as your inner truth. When you align with I AM, the apparent shield dissolves and you pass through into a wider, freer sense of self where all supply is found within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the Word is true now; revise your security from walls to the I AM, and feel the wall dissolving as you step into a wider, peaceful consciousness.
