Neville Goddard on Zechariah 11:1-3 - Mystical Bible 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.

3There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

Zechariah 11:1-3

Biblical Context

Lebanon's doors open and fire devours its cedars; the mighty are spoiled, and the forest of the vintage collapses. The voices of the shepherds and the roars of the lions signal the spoilage of glory and the collapse of prideful order.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, the verses reveal the inner Lebanon of your being—the sturdy self-image you have trusted as strength. The opening of doors and the devouring fire are not destruction but purification by the I AM, turning awareness inward. The cedars and mighty ones symbolize the structures of identity you built on external power and approval. When the fire burns, these trees fall, showing that true power is not external but consciousness. The oaks of Bashan and the forest of the vintage stand for pride and abundance tied to form; their spoilage marks the loosening of attachment to appearances. The shepherds' howling and the lions' roaring mirror your inner stories about leadership and control. Yet their noises usher in release, a returning to genuine being rather than status. By affirming I AM as the constant awareness behind every image, you allow the old kingdoms to pass and invite a truer order of life to emerge in consciousness.
