Neville Goddard on Isaiah 45:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 45 in context

Scripture Focus

21Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Isaiah 45:21-23

Biblical Context

God proclaims there is no other god and that He alone is Savior; He invites all to look to Him for salvation, and every knee shall bow.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the text as a description of your own consciousness. The LORD is not a distant king but the I AM that you are. When it says 'there is no God beside me,' it is declaring your inner sovereignty—that one consciousness rules all. To 'look unto me' is to fix your attention on the inner God that never changes; attend to that presence until it feels real and constant. The phrase 'look unto me, all the ends of the earth' invites every department of your mind and life to align under one reality. Salvation, then, is a rearrangement of inner states, not an external transaction. The statement 'I have sworn by myself' speaks of an unbreakable promise within your own being: your divine nature will govern, with righteousness and truth. This reading is practical: revise any sense of separation until the feeling of the I AM dominates. When you do, every seeming knee you have—fears, habits, doubts—bows to the truth you now inhabit, and trust becomes your natural state.

Practice This Now

Practice the assumption for a few minutes: fix your attention on the I AM within, repeat 'There is none beside me; I am the I AM' until it feels real, then step into the situation with that inner sovereignty guiding your next moment.
