Neville Goddard on Isaiah 46:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 46 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Isaiah 46:5-6

Biblical Context

The passage asks, 'To whom will ye liken me?' and shows people fashioning gold and silver into a god and bowing to it. It highlights the futility of worshiping external objects.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the question is not a history lesson but a reminder that all images of deity are but states of consciousness. The idols of gold and silver are projections of inner needs—security, appeal, control—whispering that power resides outside you. But the true God is the I AM you awaken as in every moment, the awareness that makes all forms appear and disappear. When you imagine something as separate from your life, you are fashioning a god, an outer means by which you seek fulfillment. The moment you revise that assumption and rest in the realization of I AM as your only power, the apparent idol loses its grip. Wealth, provision, and even the urge to worship become expressions of one living consciousness, your own. As you dwell in that inner sovereignty, you no longer chase idols but acknowledge that you are the field out of which all forms arise. The inner shift manifests the outer, until the world aligns with your new sense of self as God-in-expression.
