Neville Goddard on Isaiah 64:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 64 in context

Scripture Focus

1Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

2As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

3When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

4For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Isaiah 64:1-4

Biblical Context

Isaiah 64:1-4 pleads for God to rend the heavens and come down, so presence dissolves mountains of trouble and reveals what waits for those who hope.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of God not as a distant sky but as the I AM within you. The cry for Him to rend the heavens is a call to shift your inner state; when you occupy the state called Presence, the mountains of doubt bow before awareness. The melting fire is your fervent imagination, boiling the waters of limitation until your true name—your essential I AM—becomes undeniable to the world of appearances. The line about terrible things you looked not for is the promise of revelation arising when you persist in conscious stillness; what God has prepared is the possibilities your own awareness now awakens, not a future event but an immediate shift in perception. As you wait, you are not waiting for God to come down; you are awakening to the truth that God is the I AM already here, and your life rearranges itself to match that inner reality. So the mountains flowing at presence are simply your beliefs yielding to an unshakable sense of being.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state I AM—the presence that rends the heavens now. Silently affirm I AM here and the mountains melt in my presence, feeling the inner shift as reality rearranges to match this awareness.
