Neville’s Reading in All Things Exist

Neville states that these prophetic words become true for the individual when Christ is formed within them, signifying the awakening to one's divine identity and the assumption of divine power and wisdom.

For to you a child is born and a son is given. The government shall then be upon your shoulders, and you will be the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. And of your reign there shall be no end.

Neville’s Reading in Believe In Him

Neville links this verse to the spiritual birth experience, where the 'child' or 'son' born is the spiritual self, extracted from within. This birth is not a physical one but a mystical awakening of the divine within the individual.

In the Old Testament, the question is asked: "Can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands pulling himself out of himself just like a woman in labor. Why does every face turn pale?" "To us a child is born; to us a son is given."

Neville’s Reading in Eschatology The Doctrine Of The End

Isaiah 9:6 describes two distinct mystical events: the birth of the 'child' as a witness to one's spiritual birth, and the giving of the 'son' as a witness to one's Fatherhood, which occur five months apart.

These two different events are recorded in the 9th chapter of Isaiah as: "To us a child is born; to us a son is given." The child appears to bear witness to your birth, and the son is given to witness your Fatherhood.

Neville’s Reading in His Purpose

Neville distinguishes between the 'child born' (the babe in swaddling clothes, a sign of God's birth) and the 'son given' (David, who reveals the Fatherhood of God), indicating two distinct mystical experiences separated by a specific time period.

Now we come to the child. There’s another child. We are told, “Unto us a child is born” – that is the child, but – “unto us a son is given.” These are two entirely different events. They are separated by approximately four and a half months, approximately, 139 days, to be exact.

Neville’s Reading in I Am The Cause

This prophecy describes the individual's spiritual journey, where a 'child' is born and a 'son' is given, leading to the conferral of four divine titles. These titles are experienced in a specific, divinely ordained sequence within the individual, which may not match the textual order.

Listen carefully: "To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called `Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." These revelations do not come in the order the prophets recorded them (or some scribe changed); but the names are true and are revealed in perfect order.

Neville’s Reading in Revealed Truth

The child born to us, who is a sign, is named the Everlasting Father, indicating that humanity brings forth its own creator, revealing the unity of the created and the creator.

Unto us a child is born and his name shall be called the Everlasting Father. So what we, individualized, will bring forth as a sign, is a child whose name is Everlasting Father; therefore are we not bringing forth that which created us?

Practical Reflection

• The prophecy of a child being born and a son being given refers to the spiritual birth of the divine self within the individual, which is a direct, personal experience.
• The individual experiences the birth of the child and the giving of the son as distinct spiritual events, and embodies the four divine titles as their own awakened nature.
• The internal experience of the Son's birth brings undeniable conviction of one's divine identity and inherent power, confirming one's status as God.
