Neville Goddard on Isaiah 39:4-8 - Mystical Bible 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.

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 39:4-8

Biblical Context

The oracle declares that all in Hezekiah's house will be carried to Babylon, including his treasures. Hezekiah then answers that there will be peace and truth in his days.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Isaiah passage, the outer sentence of Babylon is the inner movement of your own mind. The house and its treasures are your present thoughts and identifications, the images you have allowed to stand before your awareness. When the prophet says these things shall be carried away, see it as a forecast of change in your mental setup—old stories, old possessions, old securities shedding away. Yet the response of Hezekiah, 'there shall be peace and truth in my days,' is your invitation to a different posture: peace is not a future reward but a state of awareness you can sustain while the world shifts. Truth is the unshakable realization that you are the I AM, the witness who does not abandon itself to fear but remains intact as the events pass. So, in your life, every forecast of loss becomes an opportunity to reaffirm your inner sovereignty. Do not resist the change; revise it inwardly to reflect the law that governs all: I am the awareness, I am peace, I am truth, now.
