Gathering of Nations to Glory
Isaiah 66:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 66 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse Isaiah 66:18 speaks of God knowing every thought and action, promising to gather all inner states so they may behold His glory. In Neville's view, these 'nations and tongues' are inner aspects of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Reader, hear the whisper of the I AM: God is your awareness, not a distant land. When Isaiah says I know their works and their thoughts, this is the soul’s admission that no inner movement escapes the light of consciousness. The gathering of nations and tongues is the inward gathering of every state of mind—desire, doubt, memory, virtue, fear—into one sovereign center. When these diverse forces are drawn to the flame of pure I AM, you shall see my glory, not as a conquest of others but as the living presence within you. The promise is not a far-off triumph but the immediate alignment of all thoughts with the steady awareness that you are. Your task is to assume that such a convergence is already done; revise any story of separation; feel it-real that you are the witness who beholds the divine light in every corner of your mind. In that stillness, your life becomes a procession of the immeasurable, declaring glory here and now.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and mentally gather every inner state—desire, doubt, memory, fear—into the center of your chest. Then feel the I AM as a warm, radiant light and affirm, 'All my inner states gather to witness God’s glory within.'
