Neville Goddard on Isaiah 56:3-6 - 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.

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;

Isaiah 56:3-6

Biblical Context

Outsiders who join the LORD are not cut off. Those who keep the Sabbath and hold the covenant are welcomed with a lasting place and an everlasting name.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the passage as a map of your inner state. The 'son of the stranger' and the 'eunuch' are not others; they are your isolated thoughts—feelings of not belonging, dryness, or doubt that imagine themselves outside the circle of your being. The Lord speaks to your consciousness: do not say you are cut off; do not let a dry tree stand in the mental garden. When you choose the sabbath of right attention and take hold of the covenant, you are not excluded but invited into the inner house of awareness. Your covenant is the habitual decision to return to the I AM present as you. Then, within this inner space, a place and a name are given—better than the outward measure of sons or daughters—an everlasting name that cannot be cut off. The promise is experiential: you reign in your inner temple where you attend to the I AM, and permanence follows as you align with the covenant enough to feel it as real. Your true servant is the attitude that serves this presence—serve Him by serving your own awareness, loving His name by loving your inner life.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in the LORD’s house; revise any sense of separation; close your eyes and feel the everlasting name seeding in your heart as you keep the sabbath of your attention.
