Neville Goddard on Isaiah 56:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 56 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Isaiah 56:3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 56:3 calls us to reject the mindset of exclusion for those who join the LORD and to stop declaring oneself a “dry tree.”

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of your awareness, the stranger and the eunuch are not others to fear, but states of consciousness you may be entertaining. The verse speaks to your inner speech: do not permit a sense of separation to persist, nor declare yourself barren or outside the fold of the covenant. To join the LORD is to awaken to the I AM within—the living, observing presence that is always one with all life. When you sense exclusion or dryness, you are simply misreading your relation to God. The remedy is to revise that belief by assuming you already belong to the Lord’s people, by feeling the reality of union here and now. Mercy, grace, and divine favor become your inner atmosphere as you align with the covenant in imagination and action. Thus the apparent outsiders dissolve into your awareness as you persist in the felt reality of inclusion. The verse invites you to live from a consciousness where there is no “other,” only the one life the I AM sustains.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, within, that you are already joined to the LORD; feel the belonging as a living reality, then proceed from that certainty in your daily choices.
