Tidings of Peace Within
Isaiah 52:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 52 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage speaks of messengers bringing good news of peace and salvation, declaring that God reigns. The watchmen rise in chorus, seeing eye to eye as Zion is restored.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the mountains as the inner heights of your mind and the feet that bring tidings as the decisions you make in the present moment. When you declare peace and salvation to Zion within, you are not petitioning a distant God; you are affirming that your I AM—your awakened awareness—reigns here and now. The phrase thy God reigneth becomes your mental setting: God is the ruler of your inner kingdom, not a future event but a realized state. The watchmen symbolize the aspects of yourself—desire, memory, fear—lifting their voices into harmony because you have chosen alignment. When you see eye to eye, you have achieved inner accord: the mountain top of conviction, the valley of doubt, all resolved by the awareness that life flows from within. The Lord bringing Zion signifies the inner order returning to its rightful ruler: you, the consciousness that imagines. As you dwell in that sight, the world metabolizes your feeling of reign into the outward scene, and peaceful tidings spread through your life.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the bearer of good tidings; revise any sense of lack by affirming 'Thy God reigns within me' and feel the peace as present reality. In a moment, picture yourself on a mountain, delivering the message of peace and seeing Zion restored.
