Read Isaiah 45 in context

Scripture Focus

16They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

17But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

Isaiah 45:16-17

Biblical Context

Idol-makers are ashamed and confounded; Israel is saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation, and will not be ashamed ever.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 45:16–17, in a Neville Goddard key, shows that idols are nothing more than created images inside our own imagination, while the 'Israel' who is saved by the LORD is the awakened state of consciousness. Idolaters in this light are those who mistake appearances for power, and their shame reveals the folly of worshiping substitutes. The everlasting salvation offered here is not a distant event but the present alignment of the I AM within; salvation is the steady recognition that consciousness itself is the source and keeper of life. When you identify with the Israel inside, external idols lose their pull, and confusion dissolves into peace. The LORD is not a person standing over you but the awareness you are. The practical path is simple: assume the truth that you are saved now by the LORD within, revise every belief in lack or separation, and feel the reality of that consciousness settling as your living truth. The day you do this, worship becomes inner acknowledgment, and you are forever unashamed before the changeable world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, declare 'I AM salvation now within me' and feel that awareness filling your chest. Revise any idol belief as lack and rest in the certainty of inner, everlasting life.
