Sanctuary Within Isaiah 63:18

Isaiah 63:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 63 in context

Scripture Focus

18The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Isaiah 63:18

Biblical Context

Isaiah says the holy people have held the sanctuary only for a little while, and enemies have trodden it down. It points to a temporary inner condition rather than permanent ruin.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, the sanctuary is not a building but a state of consciousness called holiness. When Isaiah speaks of the people of thy holiness possessing it but a little while, he points to a moment when your I AM awareness briefly claimed the inner temple. The adversaries that trod down thy sanctuary are fears, doubts, and old habits that seem to overrun your mind. They are not having power outside you, but reflections within your imagining. Realize that the sanctuary remains your eternal I AM, always intact beneath appearances. The outer ruin shows where you have allowed past pictures to write themselves anew. By reviving a different memory you can assume the feeling of the completed interior and act from that assumption, thereby restoring the sanctuary in fact as a present reality. So turn inward, revise the past, and let your imagination declare the sanctuary forever secure for God in you never abandoned it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe, and affirm I AM the sanctuary. Revise the memory of ruin by claiming the temple is intact now, and feel the peace of that reality as if it were so.
