Neville Goddard on Isaiah 51:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

13And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

Isaiah 51:13

Biblical Context

The verse warns that people forget the Lord their Maker and live in constant fear of an oppressor. It questions the reality of that threat by asking where the oppressor's fury has gone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 51:13 speaks of forgetting the Creator and fearing the oppressor daily; yet the inner reading reveals that fear arises from a consciousness separated from its Source. The stretching of the heavens and the foundations of the earth are inner landmarks—the vast sky of awareness and the solid ground of being you possess as I AM. When you dwell in forgetfulness, you project danger outward and call it oppression; when you awaken to the I AM, you see the oppressor as a thoughtform born of separation, dissolvable by awareness. The verse invites you to turn from memory of lack to recognition of your creator-nature, for you are the I AM in expression and the source of all appearances. By choosing to inhabit that truth, you dissolve the sense of tyranny and discover Providence as your constant companion. Trust in the unseen life within, and let fear fall away as you rest in unity with God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the Lord and Maker of this scene,' then revise the picture of threat by resting in the I AM and feeling its reality until fear dissolves.
