Inner Siege and the I AM
Isaiah 36:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Isaiah 36:1-2, Sennacherib attacks the fortified cities of Judah and sends Rabshakeh to Jerusalem with a great army, threatening Hezekiah. The scene sets a confrontation between outer power and the inner mind.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the siege on Judah stands as a vivid image of the mind's own siege by fear. Sennacherib's army is not an army out there but a swell of doubtful thoughts pressing upon your awareness. Hezekiah represents your I AM, the unshaken center of consciousness that cannot be conquered by appearances. The fortified cities are your fixed beliefs about lack, control, and danger. Rabshakeh stands by the conduit of the upper pool—the stream of life within you—speaking from the height of reasoning, urging you to yield to the outer circumstance. The fuller's field marks cleansing and revision; in your work, you are invited to wash away the old stories and reframe them as ways your mind maintains its sovereignty. When you hold the awareness that you are the I AM, the siege dissolves; the army's confidence fades when you revise the scene and insist on the truth that there is only the sovereign self. Practice this now: assume the state of complete safety, feel it, and let your imagination rewrite the moment toward victory.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and revise the scene in your imagination: I AM the ruler of my inner Jerusalem; no army can prevail against this inner state. Feel the peace of the I AM as the siege dissolves and the city stands in quiet confidence.
