Inner Exile, Inner Peace
Isaiah 39:5-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah warns that the house and its treasures will be carried away to Babylon, and even the royal line faces change; Hezekiah responds with acceptance, blessing the word and affirming peace in his days.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the word of the LORD is not a history lesson but a blueprint for changing your inner weather. The 'days come' when your outer house and all you have set aside, the patterns you trust, will be carried off into Babylon—yet this is not tragedy but a shift in consciousness. What appears to be lost is freedom from an old hold on security; what remains is the inexhaustible I AM, the inner governor who remains untouched by outward change. The threat that 'thy sons' will be taken and made eunuchs is symbolic of the stripping away of attachments to old identities under new conditions; your self-concepts are rearranged by the same spirit that reorganizes a city from within. When Hezekiah says, 'Good is the word of the LORD,' he embodies a decision to align with the higher current. The echo in your life is that there can be peace and truth in your days even as appearances confirm a turning; the state of consciousness is the sole reality. You can revise now by assuming a future governed by the I AM, not by fear.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine your inner house remains intact in the I AM; revise fear by declaring, 'From this moment, peace and truth govern my days,' and feel it real now.
