Neville Goddard on Isaiah 35:2-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 35 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

Isaiah 35:2-7

Biblical Context

The passage promises flourishing in the wilderness, strength for the fearful, and miraculous openings of sight and sound. It culminates in waters breaking forth and parched ground turning to pools.

Neville's Inner Vision

Assume you are the glory described: the desert of lack becomes the garden of your awareness. The 'glory of the LORD' you seek is the vivid felt presence of your I AM awakening to itself. The opening of eyes and ears, the leap of the lame, are inner capacities already resident in you, awaiting your decision to claim them. The command to be strong is a shift of state, not a demand to push outward. As you dwell in the truth that God will come and save you, you declare that salvation is already underway within you, arising the moment you turn attention from absence to presence. The wilds yield to streams when you water them with attention; dragons in their habitat are simply thoughts dissolving as you stay in I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision the desert around you turning to a garden, waters breaking forth, and your inner senses revived. Repeat softly, I AM here; I AM saved.
