Neville Goddard on Isaiah 48:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

3I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

5I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

Isaiah 48:3-5

Biblical Context

God declares He foretold the former things from the beginning and showed them, so they would come to pass; He warns against idol worship and the people’s stubborn resistance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the womb of your consciousness lies the I AM, the inner mouth that declares the former things. What you call the proof in the world is the outward movement of an inner state, not the worship of idols. Your stubborn habits—the iron sinew and brass brow—try to block the truth, yet the inner forecast remains: before anything manifests, you are shown what will be so you may align. When you stop blaming external forms and accept that your inner revelation is the cause, events unfold with sudden clarity as the result of your inner decree. The verse invites you to trust the law of consciousness: authenticity of revelation over image worship, and providence guiding your awareness into manifestation. Let your imagination be the voice that declares what is coming, and your life will follow the truth you accept as already true.

Practice This Now

In a quiet moment, say: 'I am the I AM, and I have declared these things; they come to pass through me.' Then revise any idol-belief and feel the truth as already real.
