Neville Goddard on Isaiah 4:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

4When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

Isaiah 4:3-4

Biblical Context

Isaiah 4:3–4 speaks of a remnant left in Zion and Jerusalem who are called holy, and of the Lord cleansing the city by the Spirit of judgment and burning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle, the 'left in Zion' and the 'remnant in Jerusalem' are not distant places but states of consciousness you hold within. When you reside in this inner Zion, you are named holy, a living record written among the living in Jerusalem—your inner city where the I AM stands as your true identity. The washing away of filth is not a water ritual but a spiritual purging of fear, guilt, and doubt by the Spirit of judgment and by a consuming fire that burns away old identifications. Judgment reveals the thoughts you have mistaken for self; burning dissolves every layer of separation from your infinite I AM. As you dwell in this awareness, holiness is no longer something you seek but something you affirm as already yours, written in the field of your life as you choose to live from that state. The verse invites you to employ imagination as the instrument of purification, to assume you are holy, and to let the inner city govern your feelings and choices accordingly.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and assume the identity 'I am the holy remnant, written in Zion.' Feel the cleansing fire moving through you, dissolving fear and old self-images as you continue to dwell in that awareness.
