Inner Idols Turned Back

Isaiah 42:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

17They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
Isaiah 42:17

Biblical Context

Isaiah 42:17 speaks of those who trust in external images and idols, promising reversal and shame for idol worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the graven images be not carved things but fixed images in the mind. Those who say to the molten images Ye are our gods worship form instead of the formless. The turning back described here is a turning inward the moment your awareness refuses to idolize appearances and asserts its own primacy. You are not a spectator of events; you are the I Am that imagines them into being. When you cling to an idol, money as security, or status as power, you give sovereignty to a perception, and the inner God lies dormant. The reversal comes when you revise from worship of external forms to the conviction I am the sole God here; all images are shadows of my being. In that shift, every idol loses its grip, and life re-aligns to your inner truth: you are God manifest, and the world is your dream interpreted by awareness. Remember imagination creates reality; you can revise the image and see it fall away, revealing the I Am as the only God there is.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm I am the I Am; there are no other gods here. Revise one trusted image by silently saying this image is not my God and feel it real that you remain the I Am, sovereign over all appearances.
