Neville Goddard on Isaiah 8:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 8 in context

Scripture Focus

6Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

7Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

Isaiah 8:6-7

Biblical Context

The people spurn the gentle waters of Shiloah and take comfort in political alliances, but God now raises a mighty flood—the river's waters, the king of Assyria—that overruns every channel and bank, signaling judgment and upheaval to redirect consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Isaiah's verse you are invited to watch your inner state. The refusal of Shiloah's soft waters is a refusal of inner quiet; clinging to Rezin and Remaliah's son is relying on outward power rather than the I AM. When you resist that inner stillness, the great river of circumstance rises—your thoughts, fears, and imagined powers surge through every channel, exposing the limits of projection. This is not punishment but an invitation: awaken to the truth that God—the I AM—rules your mind, not external alliances. The flood makes space for inner sovereignty, a fresh alignment where trust is placed in the consciousness that creates reality. As you allow the inner current to flow, you will find that your sense of security travels from transient forms to the immutable presence within, and the storm becomes a teacher rather than a threat.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your inner governor; revise your sense of safety from outer powers to the living waters within, then feel the inner current steady you through any storm.
