Neville Goddard on Isaiah 34:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 34 in context

Scripture Focus

4And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

Isaiah 34:4-6

Biblical Context

Isaiah 34:4-6 describes the heavens dissolving and the host rolling up like a scroll; the LORD's sword then comes down to judge Idumea, with a sacrifice and a great slaughter.

Neville's Inner Vision

This passage is not a report of distant events but a map of your inner life. The heavens dissolving and rolling up is your old beliefs and identifications losing their grip; as you dwell in the I AM, those beliefs are rolled away. The sword bathed in heaven is the piercing, clarifying light of awareness that cuts through illusion. It descends upon Idumea—your inner region of fear and judgment—so that purification may occur. The great sacrifice in Bozrah and the slaughter in Idumea symbolize the end of a mistaken self and release of energy bound to fear and separation. When you align with the perceiving Presence, you will find that external circumstances bend to the inner conviction you hold about yourself. The outer world is your dream waking under the law of imagination; the more you accept that you are the I AM, the more you witness old forms dissolve and a renewed sense of being rise within you.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM now; feel the sword of discernment moving through a limiting belief and revise by affirming that you are the awareness that discerns and transforms.
