Isaiah 49:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 49 in context

Biblical Context
Isaiah 49:22 speaks of the Gentiles lifting up a standard and bringing forth Israel's sons and daughters, symbolizing how outer circumstances reflect your inner state and support your rise.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse the Gentiles are not distant nations but energies of consciousness beyond your familiar self. When you fix a clear inner standard—an I AM awareness that you are already whole and able—you invite these outer energies to align with your goal. The Lord’s hand lifting to the Gentiles signifies the shift in your state as you permit imagination to feel its power. Setting up a standard to the people means you plant a distinct faith within, a goal felt as present reality. Your sons are your faculties and desires; their being brought in arms means you consciously welcome and steward them. Your daughters are your emotions and intuitions; carried upon shoulders by the world means the outer world gradually supports your inner life. The prophecy becomes your mental navigation: the kingdom of God is not distant but active within, unfolding as you persist in the assumption that you are seen and supported by life itself.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling that your goal is already accomplished; picture the Gentile world forming around you, bearing your projects and inner powers. Sustain that inner state for a few minutes, then move forward as the standard you have become.
