Inner City of God Emerges

Psalms 87:3-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 87 in context

Scripture Focus

3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
Psalms 87:3-7

Biblical Context

Psalm 87:3-7 speaks of the city of God as a birthright within the soul, where Zion is established by the Highest. It asserts that divine life flows from within, and that outward identities are secondary to one’s inner origin.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'city of God' as a fixed state of awareness in which you live, move, and have your being. Zion is the inner sanctuary your I AM establishes, a birthplace you claim by turning from lack to the conviction that life and power flow from within. When the verse speaks of 'this man was born there,' hear it as your own decision to be born anew in consciousness, not to be bound by outward labels. The names Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia are encounters with old conditions your mind permits as real; you acknowledge them and return to the truth that the inner Zion makes them irrelevant. 'All my springs are in thee' is a declaration of vitality sourced in your inner life, not a center of supply outside you. As you rest in that inner state, the I AM—your highest self—establishes it, and the symphony of life (singers and players) arises as the natural accompaniment of that undisturbed spring.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume: I am born in Zion; all my springs are in thee. Feel it real and let this inner birth color every thought, word, and deed today.
