Neville Goddard on Isaiah 35:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 35 in context

Scripture Focus

1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Isaiah 35:1-4

Biblical Context

Isaiah 35:1-4 speaks of inner restoration: our inner wilderness becomes glad as we align with fullness. It calls us to strengthen weakness, cast out fear, and await God's coming as a present, intimate presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

The wilderness and barren places in Isaiah 35:1-4 are not geographic clues but states of consciousness. When you imagine the desert blossoming and singing, you align with the I AM within and permit fullness to reveal itself as your present reality. The glory of Lebanon, Carmel, and Sharon becomes the radiance that arises when awareness identifies with completion rather than lack. Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees by choosing self-assurance over doubt, by dwelling in the feeling that you are already saved through God’s indwelling presence. The command to fear not is a decree that your God-consciousness arrives here and now—not as an event in time, but as your current mood of being. Behold the Lord coming with recompense; interpret this as your inner awareness delivering you from limitation into wholeness. This is true repentance in action: turning toward the fullness you already are and allowing restoration to birth itself through your conscious choice and felt experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you are already restored; feel the joy rise as the inner desert blossoms. Repeat 'I am saved now' until that feeling sits as your ordinary mood.
