Read Zechariah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
21Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Zechariah 1:18-21

Biblical Context

A vision where four horns scatter Judah, followed by four carpenters who come to fray them and cast out the horns.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your eye lifts to four horns not as distant conquerors but as states of mind that have scattered your inner Jerusalem—the sense of worth, safety, and belonging. In this vision, the four carpenters are not builders of temples outside you; they are the disciplined acts of imagination that cut away the power of the fears and beliefs that lifted themselves up over your land. The Lord shows you the instruments by which your freedom is wrought: not by pleading with fate, but by turning your awareness to the one I AM that holds all images. When you ask, 'What do these do?' you are invited to notice that these are coming to fray the horns, to unsettle and dissolve the false image that you are scattered. The horns lose their grip as you persist in the inner revision—assume the feeling of being undisturbed, restored, and in full possession of your Jerusalem. Your present is your act of creation; the deliverance begins in consciousness, and your inner carpenters complete the work when you persist in feeling your restored state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already whole and free. Imagine four carpenters at work around your inner city, cutting away the horns of fear, and feel your Jerusalem restored in this moment.
