Neville Goddard on Isaiah 51:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

22Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

Isaiah 51:22

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of God as the advocate who takes away the cup of trembling from the people, signaling deliverance from suffering. It points to a shift in inner state that ends turmoil.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner God, the I AM, pleads your cause, and the old fear sipping cup is removed from your hand. The cup of trembling is not a fate you endure but a worn state of consciousness you have been drinking. When you recognize that God within is your own awareness, you discover that fear and fury are movements of thought in your mind. The verse proclaims that such a state can be withdrawn, not by forces outside of you, but by an inward revision: you identify with the I AM and cease feeding that fear. As you stand in the knowing that you are the one who imagines and then experiences, the external world reflects a new posture: calm, secure, free. The cup dissolves as you acknowledge that you are no longer its drinker; you have drunk from a new cup of truth, love, and rest. The Lord pleading your cause is your inner advocate aligning your feelings with your premise, so deliverance arises from within through the conscious assumption of your rightful state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that the cup is removed, and you are the I AM. Then revise internally: I am free; the cup is gone from my hand, and I rest in the calm and power of my inner state.
