Inner Armor Of Isaiah 59:17

Isaiah 59:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 59 in context

Scripture Focus

17For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
Isaiah 59:17

Biblical Context

It speaks of equipping the self with inner armor: righteousness as a breastplate, salvation as a helmet. The garments of vengeance and zeal complete the apparel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how Isaiah does not describe a soldier marching with external armor, but the self dressed in states of consciousness. Put on righteousness as a breastplate; let it steady your chest with the knowing that your actions arise from rightness. Place the helmet of salvation upon your head, and acknowledge that you are already safe and complete in the I AM presence. The garments of vengeance are not cruelty but the fierce resolve to correct misbeliefs and uproot sin in your own mind—an inner counterpoint to fear. And clothe yourself with zeal as a cloak, a radiant ardor that fuels honest vision and fearless living. When you inhabit this attire in imagination, you shift the outer world by shifting your inner posture: events become opportunities for assertion of truth, and your will aligns with the divine, not a tired ego. The armor is not defense against others but a defense of your awakened awareness. Practice reveals that you are the wearer; the world responds as your thoughts have already declared.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine slipping on the breastplate, helmet, garments, and cloak, then feel the truth of your present I AM awareness. Repeat softly, 'I am righteousness; I am saved; I am zeal,' letting the feeling of reality settle in.
