Neville Goddard on Isaiah 39:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

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 39:6-8

Biblical Context

The passage foresees loss and exile, followed by Hezekiah’s recognition that the Lord’s word is true, offering peace and truth in his days despite upheaval.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the decree as stages of consciousness, not a historical timetable. The 'days to come' signal inner shifts: the house and what fathers stored are your established beliefs; Babylon’s captivity marks an exit from old identifications. The 'sons' taken away are the patterns you have repeated, the sense of self you mistake for life. The palace of the king of Babylon represents outward power you depend on for security. Yet Hezekiah’s statement—'Good is the word of the LORD … there shall be peace and truth in my days'—signals a breakthrough in awareness: the divine word is true here and now, making your days peaceful and truthful. Neville would urge you to revise lack by assuming you are already living in that inner kingdom. Let your imagination confirm you are governed by I AM, guided by Providence, regardless of appearances. The exile becomes a gift: you shed counterfeit self-concepts and awaken to the realm where you are one with God.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, recall the scene, and assume the inner state it points to: 'The Lord's word is true in this moment; I am the keeper of my consciousness.' Feel the peace and truth already within you and dwell there for a few minutes.
