Neville Goddard on Isaiah 60:18-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 60 in context

Scripture Focus

18Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

19The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

21Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

22A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Isaiah 60:18-22

Biblical Context

Violence and destruction are banished from the land, and walls are named Salvation while gates are Praise. The LORD becomes everlasting light, the people are righteous, and a small beginning can grow into a mighty nation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Inside you is the city Isaiah describes. You are not waiting for light; you are the light you seek. The land around you is your state of consciousness, and its borders are formed by belief. When you name your inner walls Salvation and your gates Praise, you seal a reality that cannot be offended by the outer scene. The sun and moon of ordinary events pale beside the LORD, your everlasting light, the glory of your awareness. As you acknowledge I AM as your life—this I AM here and now—you discover your people, your thoughts, are righteous in this moment, and you inherit the land of perception itself. A single thought, cherished in faith, can become a multitude; I, the LORD, hasten its fulfillment in its time through your trust. Mourning gives way to expectancy, not through external change but by awakening to the fact that you are the branch of His planting, designed to shine. The kingdom begins in consciousness and shines into daily life, here and now, in your own being.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, settle into the I AM presence, and declare: I am the LORD, the everlasting light in me. See your life as a city whose walls are Salvation and gates Praise, and feel the dawn continuously lighting your days.
