Neville Goddard on Isaiah 39:3-8 - 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.

8Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

Isaiah 39:3-8

Biblical Context

Isaiah recounts Hezekiah showing his treasures to envoys from Babylon, and Isaiah foresees their removal. The scene reveals how outward wealth mirrors inner attachments and the accountability that follows every assumed possession.

Neville's Inner Vision

Do not judge this as a distant court intrigue; see it as a map of your own mind. The visitors from Babylon are the projections of belief that what you value most can be taken; the treasures in Hezekiah’s house are your cherished thoughts about security and status. When Isaiah speaks of days to come, where all that is in the house shall be carried away, he is telling you that a shift in your consciousness is already underway—the ego’s fear of loss dissolving in the sea of awareness. The LORD of hosts is your own higher I AM, the quiet judge who says, 'Behold, a new movement is at hand.' The prophecy promises peace and truth in your days because you learn to rest in what you already are rather than in what you possess. As you refuse to identify with the house or its possessions, you invite the exodus of lack and the emergence of a freer sense of self, for the power to create your future lies not in tokens of value but in the you that imagines them into being.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: declare that you are already whole, that the 'treasures' you seek are ideas in the mind of I AM. Then feel the reality of this present wholeness until the emotion of peace fills you.
