Zoar Within: Inner Mercy
Genesis 19:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Lot asks for refuge in a small city, and God agrees to spare it. He delays action until Lot reaches it, and the city is named Zoar.
Neville's Inner Vision
To see Genesis 19:20-22 through the Neville Goddard lens is to hear the whisper that Zoar is not a town but a state of consciousness. The 'little one' you seize with your eye is a gate of safety you can enter by turning your attention inward—the place where mercy and grace are already yours. Lot's plea to flee to the city mirrors your insistence to evacuate fear; the divine reply, 'I have accepted thee concerning this thing also,' is the I AM’s acceptance of your revised self. The line, 'I cannot do anything till thou be come thither,' teaches that action in your world unfolds only when you have arrived in that inner shelter. If you linger in panic, the outer drama seems doomed; when you move in imagination to Zoar, destruction can no longer reach you, because you are already safe in a state of awareness that blesses and preserves. Thus salvation is not future judgement but present perception: the inner city of Zoar becomes your real sanctuary, and providence flows as you maintain that state until the outer scene aligns with it.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume you are already in Zoar—the safe inner city. Feel the calm, mercy, and guidance as real; rest in the I AM and let the outer scene follow.
