Neville Goddard on Isaiah 34:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 34 in context

Scripture Focus

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 34:6

Biblical Context

Isaiah 34:6 presents a divine sword saturated with blood, signaling a decisive act of judgment and sacrifice meant to purify. In plain sense, it speaks of cleansing punishment that clears the land for renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you lies the 'sword of the LORD,' not a weapon wielded by an external power but the I AM acting through your imagination. The blood and fat are the charged energies poured into the inner furnace, purifying thought and dissolving false identities. Bozrah and Idumea symbolize inner regions where you have believed separation or limitation; the 'sacrifice' is the voluntary relinquishment of those old self-concepts. When you rest in the state of I AM, the sword moves through your thoughts, cutting away doubt and fattening life with truth. The great slaughter becomes a birth of new consciousness, not punishment from above. This verse becomes practical: your present inner conflict is the fuel for transformation, and your imagination is the instrument through which God acts within. If you persist in the I AM, you witness prophecy turning into a lived, present state of renewal and wholeness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the state you desire as if it already were. Let the sword of the I AM cut away fear and old limits, and dwell in renewal now.
