Neville Goddard on Isaiah 56:1-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 56 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

3Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

4For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

5Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

8The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Isaiah 56:1-8

Biblical Context

God calls one to keep justice and covenant; salvation is near, including the outcasts; those who honor the Sabbath will be blessed with an everlasting name and a place in God's house, which will be a house of prayer for all.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses describe your inner law. The LORD spoken of is the I AM within you, the awareness that keeps judgment and enacts justice when you align with a higher rhythm. Salvation near and righteousness revealed are not distant promises but the workings of consciousness when you dwell in the feeling that you are already one with that order. The eunuch and the stranger symbolize those parts of you once deemed excluded; when you keep the Sabbath of inner quiet and take hold of the covenant, you grant them an everlasting name inside your heart. To the parts you had cast out, you promise a home within your inner mountain of prayer, where joy arises and offerings are accepted because you flow with the divine pattern. Your house of prayer becomes universal—an inward temple that gathers all beings, not by change of place but by the expansion of awareness. When you accept and include, the world you seek already exists in you as the felt reality of unity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the I AM has already brought you into the house of prayer for all. Feel the everlasting name inside you now, and linger in that inner sanctuary for a few minutes, revising any sense of separation.
