Neville Goddard on Isaiah 43:22-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

22But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.

23Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

24Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

25I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

26Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

27Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.

28Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Isaiah 43:22-28

Biblical Context

Israel is rebuked for not calling on God or honoring offerings. Yet God promises to blot out transgressions and invites remembrance and justification.

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage speaks to your inner life as a drama of attention. You have wandered from the I AM, wearying yourself with the old self-accusations and rituals of the past. In the inner chamber of consciousness, God—the unmistakable I AM within you—declares that He will blot out your transgressions for His own sake, not by your toil, but by recognizing your true nature. The directives to remember and plead together are invitations to align your present awareness with the truth that you are already loved and justified by the consistent, unchanging presence you name as God. The “first father” and “teachers” symbolize inherited identities and beliefs that have transgressed against your true self; the result is a profaning of your former notions of sanctuary. When you accept this inward mercy, you cease serving sin and begin living from the covenant of your awakening. Your life then reflects the clean slate of a renewed relationship with the I AM, free from past verdicts and future fears.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness, place a hand on your heart, and declare to yourself, I am the I AM; I blot out my transgressions for my own sake and remember them no more. Feel the release as a new covenant of awareness settles in.
