Inner Riches and Peaceful Governance
Isaiah 60:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 60 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God promises to replace hardship and roughness with abundance and refinement, turning brass into gold and iron into silver. He also promises a governance of peace and righteousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your text is not about metal but state of mind. Brass and iron are symbols of your accustomed attitudes, scarcity, and struggle. When you assume a different possibility with the feeling that it is true now, God begins to transmute those inner metals. Brass becomes gold as your thinking grows to value and trust; iron yields to silver as you release rigidity and invite supple perception. The phrase about officers and exactors points to your inner governance: the I AM within you is the ruler who keeps peace in the citadel of your heart, and the laws you acknowledge as righteousness are the decisions you align with in every moment. This is not distant prophecy but a present invitation to revise your inner world. If you dwell in that imagining and feel it as fact, outward circumstances align with your new state. You are the city and the ruler of its story; what you conceive in imagination becomes your palpable experience when lived as truth in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and feel I AM wealth already present. Revise a simple scene—your home, desk, or street—so that your inner officers are at peace and your judgments are just; dwell there for a minute, feeling it real.
