Inner Head and Tail Revelation
Isaiah 9:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaiah 9:15 presents two inner authorities: the 'ancient and honourable' as the head, and the 'prophet that teacheth lies' as the tail. Together they symbolize inner states that shape outward life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your reading of Isaiah's line is not about ancient persons, but about states of consciousness. The 'head' is the fixed, venerable awareness—the I AM that holds steadiness, truth, and rightful authority within you. The 'tail' is the wandering prophet who would teach lies—the impulsive thought that points you away from your divine nature. When you identify with the head, you rule from inner truth; when you identify with the tail, you surrender to deception and fear. This verse asks you to audit your inner kingdom: which voice speaks as your king? If you discover you have been listening to the tail, revise by returning to the head, affirming that the ancient and honourable I AM is now the directing consciousness of your life. Prophecy and promise thrive not in external signs but in your inner state of faithfulness to awareness. Your kingship is not worn from without; it is the alignment of your heart with truth, so that authority flows from within and expresses as clarity, order, and rightful leadership in your world. The outer events then follow the inner decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the role of the ancient and honourable I AM as the head of your life. Repeat, 'I am the head of truth here and now,' and feel the steady inner authority displace the tail's chatter.
