Inner Zion Deliverance
Obadiah 1:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Obadiah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts the nations’ drinking on a holy mountain with a promise of deliverance on Mount Zion. Holiness follows, and the house of Jacob is set to possess its possessions.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as Neville would: the 'holy mountain' is your present state of awareness. When you imagine you have been 'drinking' on that inner mountain—reading the world through fear, scarcity, or separation—the outer scenes reflect that inner intoxication: the heathen drink your stream of attention, they 'swallow down' the illusion until you forget your true self. Yet Zion is not a place apart but the consciousness that delivers; it is your I AM, the realization that you are always complete, untouched by external judgments. On Zion there is deliverance; holiness dawns as you revise the story from lack to fullness, from otherness to unity. The 'house of Jacob' inheriting possessions is the inner inheritance of your being—the talents, gifts, and alignments you already possess in consciousness—awaiting your recognition. The outer world then obeys the inner setting: as you stand in Zion, you possess all; you no longer drink to oblivion but drink to awakening, to the remembered birthright of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume Zion as your present awareness; feel deliverance now, revise any sense of lack into fullness, and dwell in the certainty that your inner possessions are already yours.
