Scroll of Inner Renewal
Isaiah 34:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 34:3-4 portrays outer judgment and cosmic upheaval— slain bodies, mountains melted, and the heavens dissolved—as the external drama that follows rebellion against righteousness. Neville reinterprets it as inner cleansing: the mind shedding old beliefs and attachments.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Isaiah you are the landscape; the slain and mountains are the burdens of old identification, cast out by your attention. The blood and dissolution are not punishment from without but symbolic energy freed by a new state of consciousness. When you dwell in the I AM, the Lord of your world, the heavens of opinion—the hosts that bind through fear and habit—are dissolved in your awareness, rolled up like a scroll, and vanish. The mountains melting becomes the felt release of entrenched habits, stories, and judgments under the heat of realized being. The leaf falling from the vine and fig tree is the shedding of attachments that no longer reflect your true nature. This is prophecy fulfilled in your mind: the outer world aligning with the inner state you have decided to inhabit. As you assume the end—feel it real now—you awaken to a reality shaped by imagination, not by external circumstance. You are the author of your world, the I AM that makes mountains move.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat: 'I am the I AM; old heavens dissolve now.' Then imagine a scroll rolling across the sky and the mountains melting away, while you rest in the feeling that this new state is already yours.
