Neville Goddard on Isaiah 32:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 32 in context

Scripture Focus

18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

Isaiah 32:18-19

Biblical Context

Isaiah promises a people living in a peaceable habitation, safe dwellings, and quiet resting places, even as hail and upheaval strike the land. Outer storms become a backdrop to the inward, steadfast soul.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text the outer city and forest are inner scenes. The peaceable habitation is a state of consciousness the I AM occupies—calm, unshaken, and present. The sure dwellings are the unmovable foundations of awareness, built by accepting your oneness with God. Quiet resting places are moments when attention stills and rests in the I AM. The hail and the falling rain represent the noises of the outer world, signaling that life may seem to tremble, yet you remain untouched by it. When the city is described as low in a low place, it signals humility of ego and the surrender of personal will to the divine order. Your life will mirror this inward order as the outer rearranges itself to align with your inner state. Therefore, dwell in the consciousness that already possesses what you seek—peace, security, and a right order of life grounded in the Kingdom within.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: I AM dwelling in a peaceable habitation, a secure, quiet resting place within. When disturbances arise, revise by shifting attention to the I AM and feel the peace as real.
