Rise To Zion Within
Jeremiah 31:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 31 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pictures a moment when the watchers on the border awaken and invite a journey to Zion, symbolizing an inner shift toward God. It calls your inner self to move from vigilance to intimacy with the I AM.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the watchmen on the mount Ephraim are your own vigilant thoughts and stubborn habits standing at the edge of Zion. The cry 'Arise, let us go up to Zion' is not a historical command but a call within your consciousness: awaken from limitation and climb to the inner dwelling of God. Zion is the inner state where you know I AM, where you are one with the Lord your God. The day spoken of is a present moment when you revise the scene in your imagination and align with the truth that God is within you now. When you persist in the assumption that the Lord is your God, the border dissolves and you inhabit the kingdom you seek. The prophecy is a promise that your consciousness can travel from watchful fear to abiding love by the practice of imagining and feeling it real. Remember: you do not go somewhere external; you rise in awareness, and the places of worship spring up within as your mind is united with God.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, stand as the watchman on your inner mount and hear the call to Arise; revise the scene by stepping into Zion within, and feel the presence of God now. Feel the I AM as your living center and let that sense color all you think, say, and do.
