Neville Goddard on Isaiah 56:3-5 - 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.

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.

Isaiah 56:3-5

Biblical Context

The passage proclaims that strangers and eunuchs who join the LORD will not be excluded; rather, they are promised a dwelling and a lasting name within God’s covenant for those who keep the sabbath and align with His will.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the text locates blessing not in status, but in the state of consciousness. The 'stranger' and the 'dry tree' are beliefs that separation is real. When you join the LORD in your sense of I AM—when you rest in the Sabbath of true awareness and choose what pleases God—you take hold of the covenant with the God within. Then the 'place and a name' you receive are not external titles but a refreshment of your inner identity: a permanent dwelling in the light of your own abiding self. The everlasting name is the living memory that you are not cast off, that your inner self recognizes you as intact and worthy beyond lineage or circumstance. The promise belongs to consciousness that cannot be severed from its source. As you practice, you will find the boundary between self and God dissolving; you are seen, named, and kept within the holy walls of your own awareness. The outward policy of inclusion becomes your inner conviction: all who keep covenant with their I AM find a home within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the identity: 'I am kept in the house of God, with an everlasting name.' Feel the sense of belonging in your chest until it feels real.
