Neville Goddard on Isaiah 42:11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

11Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isaiah 42:11

Biblical Context

Let the verse call every place—wilderness, cities, villages, and rock—to rise and sing. It portrays an inner worship that responds to the I AM within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 42:11 invites the outer world to mirror the inner state. In Neville's vocabulary, the wilderness and the cities are not merely landscapes but faculties of consciousness, and their rising into song signals the inward worship that comes when the I AM is acknowledged. When you imagine God as your living awareness and treat it as already present, the calls of the wilderness, the villages, and the rock awaken as a chorus within your mind. The verse becomes a prophecy of the Kingdom of God within: presence, purpose, and joy unfold because you have assumed a state of being rather than petitioning for an external blessing. The more fully you dwell in the feeling of gratitude, trust, and triumphant worship, the more your inner movements align with outward events. You are not asking God to come; you are discovering that God is the I AM you already are, and imagination is the instrument by which creation responds to that decree.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are already living in that worshiping state. Let the inner wilderness and cities rise as your own voice, affirming I AM here now.
