Neville Goddard on Isaiah 39:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

3Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.

4Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

5Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:

6Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

7And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Isaiah 39:3-7

Biblical Context

Isaiah recounts Hezekiah's exchange with Babylonian messengers and reveals that all that is in his house will be carried away to Babylon. The prophecy extends to his sons, foretelling exile and the erosion of outward security.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this through Neville's lens is to enter the interior drama of your own mind. The 'house' Hezekiah shows is your current belief in external security—your treasured possessions, your status, even your plans for the future. The Babylonian visitors are not strangers at a gate but states of consciousness that arrive to test what you truly acknowledge as power. When Hezekiah says, 'All that is in mine house... I have shown them,' the scene invites you to notice you are exposing your inner alignments. The days to come—when everything in the house is taken away—signal a shift in awareness: you are invited to release dependence on outward forms. The note about his sons being taken to Babylon points to future expressions of your life that will not be shaped by old attachments; in Neville's vision, that release is not punishment but preparation for a greater realization. The true wealth lies in the I AM that animates all; the exile is the necessary purification through which the mind comes to know its permanent kingdom within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and revise by declaring, 'I am the I AM wealth; external treasures do not define me,' and feel this truth as real in your chest. Stay with the feeling for a few minutes, imagining the exile yielding to an inner temple lit from within.
