Inner Exile, Inner Peace

Isaiah 39:5-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

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 39:5-8

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.
