Neville Goddard on Isaiah 46:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 46 in context

Scripture Focus

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 46:3-7

Biblical Context

God promises to sustain and carry the house of Jacob from birth to old age; the idols they rely on cannot save or move. True worship arises from recognizing the I AM within, not external forms.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Isaiah 46:3-7, the Father is not distant but the I AM present in your own consciousness. The lines 'borne by me from the belly... carried from the womb' describe how you are already carried by awareness from the moment you begin to think. The call 'to whom will ye liken me' exposes idolatries—gold, silver, and engineered gods—that promise security while remaining mute and useless in trouble. In Neville's terms, these movements of attachment reveal a misalignment of consciousness: you are looking for power outside yourself when the true power dwells as your own awareness, the I AM that bears, holds, and delivers. The baby, the aged, the whole arc of life, are all held by the same presence; nothing external can add or subtract from your life except your sense of who you are. When you revise your identity to: 'I am the I AM, carried by the I AM within,' fear dissolves, and decisive action emerges from inner peace. The invitation is to practice a daily recognition that your sustenance and salvation come by the inner moving force you already possess, not by objects or rituals you worship.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume 'I am the I AM, carried by the I AM within' and feel the steady support; hold that feeling until it feels real, then return to daily life.
