Neville Goddard on Isaiah 58:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 58 in context

Scripture Focus

12And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

13If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 58:12-14

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of rebuilding ruined places and setting new foundations by honoring the Sabbath, inviting delight in the Lord and elevation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this text as a map of inner possibility. You are not a spectator in history, but the I AM choosing the state in which life appears. The old waste places are your stubborn thoughts and hurts, the foundations of many generations the deep habits you have taken as true. When you turn away from the sabbath—when you make your pleasure the measure of life—you shrink your energy and close the gates. But when you call the sabbath a delight, when you honor the holy within as the LORD’s own, you align with the inner law that makes all things possible. Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD, and a new energy rises in you: you rise to the high places of the earth and are fed with your true inheritance, the heritage of Jacob, by the mouth of the Lord who has spoken it. So revise your inner state now; assume you are already the restorer, and let that assumption fill your mind until it fills your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and say inwardly, I delight in the Sabbath within. See yourself repairing the breach and laying new foundations, then stepping into high places of consciousness where your inheritance awaits.
