Neville Goddard on Isaiah 54:14-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 54 in context

Scripture Focus

14In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 54:14-17

Biblical Context

These verses promise you can be established in righteousness and shielded from oppression and fear. They declare that opposition cannot prevail against you when your state of consciousness is aligned with the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, this text is a map of your inner state, not a threat from without. Oppression and terror appear only as thoughts when you forget you are the consciousness that sees. 'In righteousness shalt thou be established' means you stand as the already-present awareness that aligns with divine law; from that place you are far from fear. The claim 'they shall gather together, but not by me' shows opposition arises in imagination—often born of belief in conflict rather than any external decree. 'I have created the smith... and I have created the waster' reveals that every tool of destruction is a movement of your own psyche, inviting you to re-choose its function. When you condemn the tongue that rises against you, you are affirming your heritage: righteousness is of the LORD and your true state is the I AM. No weapon formed against you prospers; this is the natural outgrowth of a consciousness anchored in the living Presence.

Practice This Now

Assume, with feeling, 'I am the I AM, established in righteousness, safe from all attack' and linger there until fear dissolves; then declare, 'No weapon formed against me shall prosper' until it is your lived experience.
