Neville Goddard on Isaiah 7:17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

17The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

Isaiah 7:17

Biblical Context

God (the I AM) moves inner events; the 'days that have not come' signal new possibilities caused by an inner split (Ephraim vs Judah). The 'king of Assyria' represents a force that awakens awareness, prompting inner unity and renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the 'LORD' is the I AM stirring the inner weather to awaken a more integrated self. When Ephraim departs from Judah—the mind's divided parts are unsettled—the 'days that have not come' become invitations to awaken. The 'king of Assyria' is not a distant conqueror but a symbol of a pressing thought or habit of limitation you have tolerated as real. God uses this pressure to drive you back to the center of your consciousness, to unify the scattered aspects and reveal a new expression of life. Prophecy here promises a return to wholeness and a reign of the I AM in which you live from the present as if it were all of life, not merely preparation. Your task is to welcome the misread signs as invitations, revise their meaning, and feel the truth that you are, always, the Lord of your mind, free to create a new days.

Practice This Now

Retire to stillness and, in imagination, assume the I AM as your sole awareness; feel the inner parts reunite, and let the 'days not yet come' become your present reality.
