The Four Horns Within
Zechariah 1:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows four horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem, and an angel explains these horns are the forces at work scattering the people. It presents exile as an inner condition prompted by those powers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Zechariah I behold four horns rising in the field of my mind. They are not distant governments but states of consciousness—fear, doubt, lack, and separation—that scatter Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem—the inner sense of identity, belonging, and wholeness. I ask the angel of my awareness, What are these? The answer comes: These are the horns that have scattered Judah. In that instant I see exile as an inner condition, a belief that I am divided from my own power. I decide to turn toward the I AM, the sovereign awareness that remains untouched by circumstance. As I align with that I AM, the horns lose their edge; the scatterings melt into light, and the inner city—Jerusalem—rises within me: courage, clarity, harmony. Judgment becomes a gentle teacher guiding me back to this sovereignty; the promise reveals itself as present fact: I am one with the inner kingdom, here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, declare I AM the ruler of my mind here and now, and visualize the four horns dissolving into light. Sit with the felt sense of inner Jerusalem restored for a minute, letting the feeling of wholeness linger.
