Neville Goddard on Isaiah 53:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 53 in context

Scripture Focus

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Isaiah 53:6-10

Biblical Context

All humanity goes astray, and the iniquity is laid upon the suffering servant. He endures in silence, is cut off, and through that offering a path of forgiveness and renewed life opens.

Neville's Inner Vision

View the servant as your inner I AM, the steadfast witness that bears every mistaken belief you harbor. When the text says all like sheep go astray, translate that as a mind scattered by separation. The LORD laying on him the iniquity becomes your awareness taking into itself every false idea about yourself. The oppression and silence are not punishment but a disciplined stance of consciousness that refuses to argue with the old story. As you accept that the soul is offered for sin, you declare to your mind that the old narrative is paid in full and dissolved. The promises of seed, prolonged days, and the Lord's pleasure prospering become your lived experience when you stop rehearsing the past and identify with the new seed of awareness waiting to sprout. The crucifixion marks the end of a limited self and the birth of a free, radiant you, animated by inner sight rather than outer circumstance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare that you are the I AM, and that the burden of old belief is laid on you to dissolve. Then feel a fresh sense of forgiveness and renewal as a seed begins to grow.
