Neville Goddard on Isaiah 50:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 50 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

Isaiah 50:1-3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 50:1-3 portrays God questioning the people’s alleged divorce and self-sale, while affirming His power to redeem and deliver, highlighting the role of inner discipline and reliance on divine sovereignty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the Lord is the I AM, and Isaiah 50:1-3 becomes a mirror of your present consciousness. The 'bill of your mother's divorcement' is the old belief of separation from Source; the 'creditors' and 'buyers' are the appearances that have whispered lack. When I came, was there none to answer? The answer is the response of your own awakening—your call within you that answers to your true nature. My hand is shortened to redeem? No—the power to deliver rests in the I AM that you are now aware of. At the breath of a rebuke, the sea dries up, rivers become wilderness, not to punish, but to reveal the freedom that lies in your consciousness. When you clothe the heavens with blackness, you are simply wearing an old garment of fear; you can lay it aside and clothe yourself with light. This is not judgment but a summons: return to the awareness that you never left God, and God never left you. Your task is to revise the impression of separation and, right now, feel the deliverance as your own feeling-state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, I am the I AM, redeeming and delivering now. Feel the response as if the call has already been answered inside your chest, resting in the felt sense of deliverance.
