Neville Goddard on Isaiah 46:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 46 in context

Scripture Focus

1Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.

2They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

3Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

4And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

5To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

6They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.

7They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

Isaiah 46:1-7

Biblical Context

Idols reveal themselves as powerless to save or bear our burdens; the true God, the I AM, carries and delivers His people through every stage of life. The passage calls you to turn inward and trust the living presence within rather than external forms.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this vision does not lift you to a distant deity, but invites you to recognize that all outward things confess your inner state. The heavy carriages and the bowing idols reveal a mind treating limitation as the real world; yet the Infinite I AM within carries you from your earliest breath to your last gray hair. When you hear the charge, 'To whom will ye liken me?' you are being asked to turn back from the worship of forms to the living presence that never leaves you. The true God is not a statue; He is the I AM behind every seeing, every sensation, every desire. Idolatry, with its gold and silver, is only the old habit of imagining you are apart from supply and power. God says, 'I have made, I will bear; I will carry, and will deliver you.' This is your inner law: consciousness carries its content. As you awaken to that fact, the burden dissolves, the captivities fall, and you are led to the ongoing deliverance that is already yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently claim: I AM the carrier of my life; I am carried by the I AM from the womb to old age. Feel the weight lift as you revise every burden by the recognition that there is no other god but the I AM within.
