Inner Zion, Eternal Throne
Lamentations 5:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts a desolate outward Zion with an enduring inner sovereignty. It suggests the true throne of God persists in consciousness despite appearances.
Neville's Inner Vision
Zion's desolation in this text is the mind's weather, not a decree about you. The foxes roaming the mount are wandering thoughts threatening to dethrone your awareness. Yet 'Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever' is not a distant event; it is your inner I AM—the unshakable throne that lasts from generation to generation within your consciousness. When you stop tracing the ruins with your attention and turn to the throne within, the desolation relaxes its grip. The kingdom of God is not a place but your ongoing state of awareness; Providence shows itself as the steady support of the Presence that never departs. Imagination creates reality here: dwell in the assumption that you are the sovereign now, and let the sense of throne fill the mind until the foxes have no room to roam. Revise your state until you feel the I AM as constant, and the outer scene will align with that inner truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state: I AM the Zion, I reign now and forever. Feel the throne within me and let the desolate scene dissolve.
