Neville Goddard on Isaiah 42:5-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Isaiah 42:5-9

Biblical Context

God creates and orders the world, then calls you in righteousness and promises to hold your hand. The result is a light that frees inner captives and opens the eyes of your consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the scenes in this prophecy unfold within your own consciousness. The One who stretched the heavens is your awareness expanding to include every idea and feeling. The same Lord who gives breath and spirit speaks in you as I AM, calling you in righteousness and taking your hand, promising to keep you as a covenant to the people and a light to the Gentiles. The open eyes and the release from prisons are inner conversions: you awaken to truth you previously denied; you release thoughts that bound you; you step from the prison of darkness into the liberty of realized consciousness. Behold, the former things have passed and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. The key is your imagination in alignment with awareness. When you assume the state of I AM and feel it real, the world rearranges around you: your vision clarifies, paths open, and your function as a beacon to others becomes inevitable. God’s glory is your own awareness; the transformation you seek arises from inside you here and now.
