Neville Goddard on Isaiah 60:5-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 60 in context

Scripture Focus

5Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

6The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

8Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

9Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

Isaiah 60:5-9

Biblical Context

Isaiah 60:5-9 depicts a coming of wealth and praise from far nations to Zion, signaling a transformation of consciousness where abundance flows to a people aligned with God. It pictures ships, caravans, and isles drawing near to honor the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville Goddard's lens, the abundance of the sea and the coming of the nations are inner movements of consciousness, not external economies. When the heart fears and is enlarged, you are being asked to widen the I AM that dreams you into being, to allow the inner state to convert outer condition. The ‘forces of the Gentiles’ and the caravans are simply aspects of your life drawn to your established assumption of wholeness. The gold, incense, and praise are your beliefs, gratitude, and reverence, gathered at the altar of your own awareness, through which the house of your glory is glorified. As you persist in that state, outer circumstances rearrange—people, resources, opportunities—carefully arriving to honor the inward fact: you are already wealthy in spirit and manifesting accordingly. The cloud-like travelers and ships from Tarshish are not distant facts but your attention sailing toward you, bringing tokens from afar to the name of the LORD thy God. Finally, the Isles wait for your I AM, for the isles are simply undiscovered parts of you waking to permission.
