Neville Goddard on Isaiah 39:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

1At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

2And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

Isaiah 39:1-2

Biblical Context

Merodachbaladan sends letters and a gift to Hezekiah after hearing of his recovery. Hezekiah joyfully shows them all treasures in his house and dominion, leaving nothing withheld.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Hezekiah’s scene as your own awakening to a state of consciousness that has recovered its power. Merodachbaladan's envoy and gifts are the world’s nod to your healed I AM. The letters and the present symbolize messages from awareness itself confirming that you have been restored to wholeness. The house of precious things—the silver and gold, the spices, the ointment, the armour, every treasure—are not merely external luxuries but the contents of your inner treasury: memories, talents, loves, and ideas that serve your life. When Hezekiah welcomes these tokens without withholding anything, it is the inward inviter (God, your I AM) shining through your outer conditions. The true kingdom is within: the moment your attention stops disowning your riches and begins to acknowledge them as your own, the outer scene expands to match your inner state. Therefore, the capitulation of a healed heart becomes the visible world’s generosity. Your inner light pours into the room of appearances, and abundance becomes your natural demeanor.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling that you are already healthy, wealthy, and safe; revise any sense of lack by imagining a messenger presenting your inner treasures, and feel it real. Let that feeling linger until it colors your next moment.
