Neville Goddard on Isaiah 36:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

6Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

7But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

Isaiah 36:6-7

Biblical Context

Those who lean on Egypt's broken reed will be pierced; true trust lies in the LORD, even as outward altars are removed. The passage invites a shift from external power to inner consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the prophecy does not condemn Egypt; it reveals a state of consciousness. When you lean upon a broken reed—any outward system, person, or power—you prove its piercing bite in your hand. The Pharaoh of your life is that belief in separation from the I AM, and thus it feels reliable only to the extent you forget who you are. But to say, 'We trust in the LORD our God' is to acknowledge the ever-present I AM within, the inner temple where no altar can be moved by the world’s politics. The removal by Hezekiah is not a loss but a redirection: the outer altar is emptied so the inner altar can stand, and worship becomes a moment of interior realization rather than ritual dependence. In this moment, you are asked to shift allegiance from outer powers to the living I AM, to feel that security is not external but conscious awareness. When you imagine the inner light burning steady, you know your unity with God beyond time, and every ‘Pharaoh’ dissolves into harmless symbolism.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I trust in the I AM within me now; revise the sense that any outer power governs me. Then rest your attention on the inner temple and feel the certainty of sacred awareness.
