Jerusalem's Inner Mercy
Zechariah 1:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Zechariah 1:12-13, the angel asks how long mercy has been withheld from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, and the Lord responds with affectionate, encouraging words.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice the 'angel of the LORD' is your inner messenger, the whisper of the I AM within. Jerusalem and the cities of Judah are your inner faculties—the long-cherished cries for mercy and reconciliation. The question, 'how long will mercy endure its delay?' exposes a mind clinging to old indignations. The Lord's reply—with good words and comfortable words—invites you to enter a new mood: to hear, to receive, and to feel the truth as present. In Neville's terms, God is your I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which mercy is revived. When you assume that mercy is now given, you revise the emotional weather, forgiving the past, and inviting future mercy into your experiential horizon. Your inner city is restored through a simple act: dwell in the feeling of being already loved and attended by the divine, and let that feeling work its adjustments in perception and circumstance.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the truth: 'I am mercy now.' Feel a warm, comforting energy rising within; listen for the inner messenger's good words and rest in their effect as real in this moment.
