Neville Goddard on Isaiah 42:1-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

2He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

5Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

6I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

7To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

8I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

9Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the inner servant within you, the I AM made manifest as your chosen consciousness. The page speaks not of a distant man, but of your own Spirit-empowered self, upheld by the Father’s call in righteousness. You are held by the Spirit, set as a covenant of the people, a light to the Gentiles in your own world. Your quiet, steadfast imagination acts in truth, not by shouting, for the life you are creating rises from inner conviction. A bruised reed or a smoking flax are signs of belief’s wavering—tend them with awareness until they yield to clarity. You will not fail or be discouraged until you have set judgment in the earth of your mind; the isles of your life await your decree. Open the blind eyes within, release the prisoners of limitation, and declare the new things before they spring forth. I the LORD am thy consciousness; this glory is your own inward light, not given to idols outside you.
