Inner Delegation of Leadership
Isaiah 36:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 36:3 introduces a small royal delegation—Eliakim the one over the house, Shebna the scribe, and Joah the recorder—presented to the ruler.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Isaiah’s scene I see an inner audience stepping into the chamber of your own consciousness. The house is the inner temple, and Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, who is over the house, stands as the faithful steward who keeps order in your inner realm. Beside him are Shebna the scribe and Joah the recorder, the keeper of memory and the chronicler of your deeds. They do not come to threaten but to reveal the architecture of your life: leadership, record-keeping, and administration. Neville would say that these figures are states of consciousness, not persons, and their presence asks you to acknowledge your current inner governance. When you align Eliakim’s steadiness with a clear memory of your intention and with Joah’s recorder keeping faith with your goal, your life begins to reflect a more coherent, purposeful order. The I AM—your pure awareness—invites these faculties to serve your envisioned reality, not the old story you have been telling. So you revise from within: you are the one who commands the inner delegation, and your imagination, rightly employed, writes the script of your destiny.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the role of Eliakim, steward over your inner house; invite Shebna and Joah to align with your aim and feel your I AM reorganizing thoughts to match your goal.
