Neville Goddard on Isaiah 54:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 54 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

7For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

Isaiah 54:6-8

Biblical Context

The verse speaks that God calls the forsaken and promises restoration after a brief separation, with everlasting mercy and kindness. It emphasizes the Redeemer's enduring mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Be still and know that you are not truly abandoned. In this scriptural scene, 'forsaken' is a state of consciousness, a moment when you have believed you were separated from the I AM. God is not a distant judge but the I AM within you, your own awareness that calls you back. The 'small moment' of forsakenness is the last shiver of fear in your imagination; it vanishes when you remember that mercy is your true atmosphere. The 'great mercies' are the continuous, unshaken acts of your inner God to gather you back into unity. Even when a 'little wrath' appears, it is only a passing dream that hides the face of the Redeemer—the inner I AM. Yet the promise remains: everlasting kindness, mercy that cannot fail, a covenant of love between you and your true self. Your task is to reframe the scene in present tense: you are now gathered, you are now known, you are now redeemed by mercy. Return to the awareness that you never left God; God never left you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the I AM gathering you into its warm embrace. Repeat silently, 'I am gathered, I am cherished, I am redeemed,' until it feels real.
