Jerusalem Within Reborn
Zechariah 1:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God proclaims that He returns to Jerusalem with mercies, and that His house will be built there, with a line stretched forth over the inner city.
Neville's Inner Vision
When a scripture speaks of return, regard it as your awareness returning to its center of power. Zechariah declares, I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies — not a place, but the I AM awakening to the heart where exile in belief once lingered. The 'house' is the temple within your consciousness; 'my house shall be built in it' means you actively construct the sanctuary where the divine dwells. Jerusalem stands for your inner state, the equilibrium of your being; the 'line stretched forth' is the boundary you draw with imagination, the horizon your renewed mind sets so that the temple's influence extends into every circumstance. This is the covenant of mercy, presence, and new creation renewed in your life. The moment you rest in the truth that the divine is already within, you will observe the outer world align as the inner temple rises. Practice listening to the I AM within and allow the reconstruction of your inner world to precede any outward change.
Practice This Now
Assume you are standing inside the rebuilt inner temple now; feel mercies flowing. Revise any lack by affirming, 'I am the I AM, my house is built within me,' and stretch a clear line of intention across your Jerusalem.
