Inner Treasures and Exile

Isaiah 39:4-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

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 39:4-7

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.
