Read Isaiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Isaiah 30:28

Biblical Context

Isaiah 30:28 describes a breath like an overflowing stream that sifts vanity from nations, and a bridle in the jaws that causes people to err. It speaks to inner forces rather than external power.

Neville's Inner Vision

To interpret Isaiah 30:28 in Neville Goddard's spirit, see the breath as the Spirit moving through your consciousness. The overflowing stream reaches the middle of the neck, the cusp where identity is formed, and it sifts the nations with the sieve of vanity — separating what you think is real from what is true in you. The nations are inner states of mind; vanity is the mistaken self-concept that you allow to reign. The bridle in the jaws is the habitual speech and believed limitation you utter, a control you grant to the ego that causes you to err. Yet the Kingdom of God is not found in outward conquest but as an inward dominion you awaken by identification with the I AM. When you align with the I AM, the stream purifies thought and revelation flows, and your outer circumstances shift to match the inner reality you have assumed. The message is practical: revise your self-concept, assume the truth of your divinity, and feel the outcome as already real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and breathe the Spirit through you while declaring 'I AM that I AM' and 'the breath sifts vanity, reveals truth.' Then revise any limiting thought and feel the wish fulfilled as real.
