Rebuilding Inner Cities

Isaiah 61:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 61 in context

Scripture Focus

4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Isaiah 61:4-5

Biblical Context

Isaiah 61:4-5 portrays restoration: desolate places are rebuilt, former ruins raised, and outsiders are drawn into the new inner economy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the old wastes are not spatial ruin but states of consciousness awaiting renewal. When you read that they shall build and repair, perceive that you are the builder—your I AM reinforcing a new mental architecture. The desolations of many generations are the beliefs that once said, 'this cannot be,' and yet they rise as you accept a different feeling as real. The strangers and the sons of the alien are not far-away people; they are the unfamiliar energies of your own mind now invited to work for your good. They stand and feed your flocks because you have ceased to resist them; you invite their service by feeling the reality of abundance in this moment. Each revision you make is a fresh seed, every act done in imagination becomes a plowman or a vinedresser within your inner field. As you dwell in I AM, the inner city quietly shifts into a stable habitat of peace, order, and growth. The outer world will reflect this inner building, and your future will become the present.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the builder of my inner city.' Imagine strangers tending your flocks and the alien energies turning earth into vineyards as you feel the reality of abundance now.
