Neville Goddard on Isaiah 48:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

6Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

9For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Isaiah 48:6-9

Biblical Context

Plainly, the verse declares that new things are revealed now, even hidden ones you did not know or hear; and God delays anger for His praise, so you are not cut off.

Neville's Inner Vision

All that is spoken here concerns your inner state. The new things and hidden things are not distant events; they are shifts in your consciousness created the moment you attend to them. When the text says I have shown thee new things from this time, it is inviting you to turn and see with fresh sight in this present moment, not because you earned it yesterday but because your awareness is now ready. They are created now, and not from the beginning, means you are not bound by past ideas of yourself; you can imagine and instantiate a revised self right now. The phrase thine ear was not opened points to the habit of listening to limitation; open your ear to the I AM and hear your true nature claim you as whole. For my name's sake will I defer mine anger suggests the patience of your true Self toward your growth; that I cut thee not off affirms that your divine identity remains, awaiting your next inspired act. Practice: assume the revised truth now, feel it real in your chest, and move with the inner certainty that you are hearing God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and declare I now hear and acknowledge the new things created now in me. Then revise a limiting belief by affirming this belief is replaced by the I AM presence, and feel the new truth as real.
