Neville Goddard on Isaiah 37:8-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 37 in context

Scripture Focus

8So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

9And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

10Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

11Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

12Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?

13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

Isaiah 37:8-13

Biblical Context

Rabshakeh's threat against Jerusalem and Hezekiah's reliance on God is presented.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a test of your inner state. The Assyrian threats speak as outer circumstances, but they flow from the same source: doubt within. In Neville’s terms, the taunts reveal your current assumption about reality. If you listen and agree with them, you grant the fear power; if you withdraw your attention and affirm, 'I AM that I am,' you reoccupy the fortress of your consciousness. Deliverance does not come from armies but from a shift in imagination—seeing that your awareness cannot be touched by outward threats. When you refuse to let the external drama determine you, providence becomes your guiding light. The city of your soul remains intact because the I AM is the indwelling ruler. The moment you revise the story—no harm, no fall, only a transformation of belief—you find that what you feared dissolves as a dream dissolves at waking.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM the fortress of my consciousness.' Imagine a radiant wall of light surrounding you and feel the certainty of deliverance already present.
