Neville Goddard on Isaiah 50:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 50 in context

Scripture Focus

8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

10Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Isaiah 50:8-10

Biblical Context

The passage declares that God is near the one who is justified, that helper presence defeats condemnation, and that those walking in darkness can choose trust in the LORD and rely on Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Know this: the verses do not threaten you with distant providence; they reveal your inward law at work. He is near that justifieth me—the I AM in you stands as your defense and your justification. Who will contend with me? let us stand together—this is the invitation to agreement with your own higher consistency. The question of adversaries dissolves when you turn from outer blame and rest your mind on the fact that the LORD GOD will help me; condemnation has no seat in the kingdom of awareness where light is already present. When the note about walking in darkness and having no light arises, interpret it as a moment of inner timeout, not a failure. Your task is to trust the name of the LORD—your inner principle—and stay upon your God, i.e., remain fixed in the awareness that you are already supported by the One within you. Your light comes as you cease disputing and claim the name of the LORD within you, and allow that steady consciousness to illuminate every step.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the state 'I am justified' and stay with God. In dark moments, repeat 'I trust in the name of the LORD and stay upon my God' until that assurance feels real.
