Neville Goddard on Isaiah 60:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 60 in context

Scripture Focus

1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

2For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Isaiah 60:1-3

Biblical Context

Isaiah 60:1-3 invites an inner activation: arise and shine because the light and glory of the LORD rest upon you, even as darkness covers the earth. It marks the shift from inner darkness to divine presence within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read through Neville's lens, and the verses reveal a shift of consciousness. Arise, shine becomes an act of awakening to the I AM that you are, the divine light already present. The light you see is not a future sunrise but the illumination your inner state generates. Darkness represents misaligned assumptions; the LORD arising upon thee is your own awareness waking fully, and his glory seen upon thee is the world reflecting your inner order. When you dwell in this light, the Gentiles come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising—the outer world aligning with your inner choice. Do not seek external illumination; confirm that you are the light and feel that reality now. Persist in that feeling, and the surrounding experiences will rearrange to mirror your new center.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the light of the world' while imagining a radiant glow upon your body; dwell in the feeling of that light as already real, then observe as your inner state shifts the outer scene.
