Neville Goddard on Isaiah 61:7-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 61 in context

Scripture Focus

7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 61:7-11

Biblical Context

Shame and confusion give way to a double portion and everlasting joy; the people will possess their land with renewed vitality. God directs their work in truth and establishes an everlasting covenant that births righteousness and praise.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the words as the map of your inner state. The shame and confusion spoken of are only false identifications of the I AM, the deeper you that already knows the truth. When the text promises double in their land and everlasting joy, it is the consciousness doubling its awareness, reforming itself into a richer, more secure sense of being. The line I love justice, I hate robbery for burnt offering, is not about external ritual but about aligning your thoughts with truthful perception; the Lord’s truth directs your inner work and seals an everlasting covenant within you. Your seed shall be known among the nations, meaning your deeds, when lived from this inner covenant, radiate and become recognizable as blessed by the divine within. You are clothed with garments of salvation and robed in righteousness, a celebration dress your soul wears when it awakens to its true role. As the earth brings forth, so does inner righteousness and praise spring forth before all nations when you dwell in this truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume right now that you are clothed with the garments of salvation; feel the warmth of righteousness enveloping you and declare softly, 'I am the I AM in manifested form,' then observe one small sign of inner joy today.
