Open Doors Within Lebanon

Zechariah 11:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Zechariah 11:1-2

Biblical Context

Symbolic judgment sweeps away pride and outward power; the cedars, oaks, and strong trees represent mighty states that are toppled by a consuming fire.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Lebanon as the high towers of your own consciousness—the grand self-image, the pride of achievement. The fire that devours the cedars is the inner realization that what you thought protected you is only an image. When you allow the doors of your mind to open, the energy that fed those images is drawn into the flame of awareness, and the mighty are spoiled—the old stories of success, status, and control dissolve. The cedar falls, because the nature of reality is awareness; you awaken from identifying with external forms. The oaks of Bashan howl because the habitual forest—the patterns of longing for possession and influence—has come down. Yet this is not punishment but purification; the no-longer-useful wooden idols are burned away to reveal the living truth: you are the I AM, the unconditioned awareness that remains when all outward structures collapse. In practice, you can reinterpret: you are the one who opens the doors of Lebanon within, invites the fire, and discovers that your true power is not in the forest but in the flame of conscious presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively, assume the door is open and feel the fire burning away old pride. Revise your sense of self to the statement, 'I am the I AM, power in conscious presence.'
