Butter and Honey Within

Isaiah 7:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

15Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Isaiah 7:15-16

Biblical Context

Butter and honey are given as nourishment so the child can learn to refuse evil and choose the good; the old land will be forsaken before that discernment fully comes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Butter and honey are not accidental nourishment; they are the symbolic diet of a mind awakening to discernment. The 'child' represents a new state of consciousness in you—the I AM—that will know to refuse the evil and choose the good, not by fear or force but by preferred alignment. Before that state fully awakens, the land you fear will be forsaken by the Kings of your old imagination; in other words, the external world will seem to fall away as the old consciousness yields to the new. Your task is to dwell in the feeling that you already are the one who refuses evil and embraces good. Do not chase proofs in the outer; revise the inner, feel the reality of the new choice, and wait as the old order dissolves. When the child is born in your inward vision, the land will no longer rule you; your life will reflect the new discernment you have assumed. Remember: you are the I AM. Your imagination is the source of every appearing land.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and imagine the inner child who already knows the good. Feel the certainty as real and revise your present scene to reflect that state.
