Neville Goddard on Isaiah 43:13-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

13Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

14Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

15I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

16Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

Isaiah 43:13-17

Biblical Context

God proclaims sovereignty and deliverance; the LORD as creator and king; the inner I AM makes a way through peril.

Neville's Inner Vision

Before the day arose, you are I AM — the immutable awareness behind all appearance. Nothing can deliver you from the grip of your own hand, for I AM works now and cannot be thwarted. When Isaiah calls the LORD Redeemer, Holy One, Creator and King, he is naming your true identity: you are the self that commands, creates order, and governs time. Babylon, the Chaldeans, the ships and cries are simply pictures shaped by your mind; you call them down into light by the authority of your inner decree. The verse about making a way in the sea and a path in waters is the demonstration of your imagination in action: a conscious decision to see a dry path where you once saw danger. The chariot and army that vanish are your old thoughts dissolving as you stand in the present I AM. So dwell in that sovereignty now, and watch life rearrange itself to your inner verdict.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and affirm, 'I AM the way and the power in my life.' Revise a current problem as already resolved by divine action, then feel the relief as you picture walking a dry path through the sea of circumstance.
