Neville Goddard on Isaiah 63:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 63 in context

Scripture Focus

7I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

8For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

Isaiah 63:7-9

Biblical Context

God proclaims His steadfast mercy toward Israel, declaring He is their Savior who bears and carries them through affliction with love and pity.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Isaiah 63:7-9 as a door into the inner life, where mercy is not a distant event but an established state of consciousness. The lovingkindnesses become memories of calm and trust, while the praises are the steady recognition that the I AM is present. In this reading, the 'they are my people' becomes 'I am the one who is chosen in the moment I awaken to awareness,' and the Savior is the inner seeing that heals. When I am afflicted, the text teaches that the angel of his presence is the inner awareness moving toward me, bearing me through the feeling of trouble. His love and pity redeem me not as an external act, but as the very movement of consciousness that dissolves limitation. I am carried by the same mercy that once saved Israel, and I carry that mercy into every present experience. The promises unfold as law within me: salvation is a present act of awareness, enacted by my thoughts and feelings. As I dwell in this view, I discover that I am saved, carried, and redeemed by the compassion at the heart of I AM.
