Inner Treasures and Exile
Isaiah 39:4-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 39:4-7 presents Hezekiah revealing all his treasures, followed by a prophecy that everything will be carried away to Babylon. The text frames exile and the promise of judgment and an eventual return.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's light, the 'house' is your state of consciousness and the 'treasures' are your cherished beliefs, fears, and memories. When the world presses to see what you value, the decree that all will be carried away signals a rearrangement of your inner climate—an exile from familiar thought forms. The 'sons' becoming eunuchs in Babylon represents aspects of your nature that you believed you owned being redirected to distant powers, i.e., external circumstances. Yet the I AM, your awareness, remains untouched. The question is not whether wealth leaves, but whose wealth you identify as the source. If you cling to the form, you invite loss; if you recognize that all wealth is God within you, the outer signs of change become opportunities, not losses. The prophecy of exile becomes a doorway to the return: you awaken to the truth that the kingdom of God is within, and the previous structures yield to a higher order of consciousness. Your inner wealth persists as the enduring reality you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, revise the scene by affirming, 'My house and all I value are the Lord's; nothing of my true wealth is lost, for all is God within me.' Then feel the fullness of that wealth settling in your chest as if you already live in the inner kingdom.
