Inner Kingdom Exile and Return
Isaiah 39:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 39:5-6 presents a prophetic warning that material securities are to be removed. The passage invites a turning from outer props to the inner I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville Goddard's language, this verse is not about Babylon as a city, but the inner dispersal of beliefs that stand between you and your true birth. 'All that is in thine house' speaks to the mental furniture you have collected—the habits, fears, and hopes you mistakenly call yours. When the days come and those props are carried away, nothing is left that you can rely on except the Presence that remains. The LORD of hosts is the I AM behind your attention, the awareness that witnesses both loss and renewal. This moment of emptying is not punishment but invitation: you are being asked to revise your assumptions until the sense of ownership yields to the sense of Being. Let the exile be your opportunity to withdraw identification from appearances and return to the inner kingdom, where nothing is left but the creative force of consciousness. Proclaim with the imagination that the removal clears space for a deliberate act of creation—your internal world reorganizes around the Truth that you are, not what you own. The prophecy becomes promise: you steward your mind, and your world follows your conscious assumption.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner reality now: dwell in the sense 'I AM' and revise your ownership by affirming, 'Only the I AM remains; all else dissolves into its potential.' Sit with the emptiness and feel the Presence filling your mind as the old house is carried away.
