Neville Goddard on Isaiah 54:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 54 in context

Scripture Focus

2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

Isaiah 54:2-6

Biblical Context

Isaiah 54:2-6 invites you to enlarge the inner life and stretch beyond past limitations. It also names your Maker as husband, promising renewal and protection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your tent is the present state of your consciousness. Enlarge its space by refusing limitation and letting the curtains of habit lift outward, for this is not geography but the growth of the self you assume as real. Fear and shame are not rulers; they are memories of a smaller you that you are leaving behind. When you perceive the right and left breaking forth, you are declaring that your seed—the fruit of your imagination—shall awaken the cities of your life to abundance. The Maker and husband are not two beings but your I AM—the intimate Power by which you live. The LORD of hosts is the energy you wield in any moment. You are called not abandoned; the sense of being forsaken dissolves as you identify with your inner covenant, and the divine God within becomes your present experience. This is the inner Redeemer who forgives the past and births a new creation in you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: Declare right now, 'I am the Maker of my life; my consciousness is enlarged.' Close your eyes, take a few breaths, and stand in a larger tent of awareness with firm cords and bright curtains—feel the renewal already present.
