Jerusalem Inner Cup of Fear

Zechariah 12:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 12 in context

Scripture Focus

2Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
Zechariah 12:2-4

Biblical Context

Zechariah 12:2-4 presents Jerusalem as a focal point of collective fear and divine intervention, describing siege, stones, and awakening symbols.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of the mind, Jerusalem is a state of consciousness. The cup of trembling and the burdensome stone arise from seemingly external pressures, yet the I AM within you is sovereign. When you acknowledge you are the imagination of God and identify with the inner city as your true self, the siege dissolves into insight. The lines about opening eyes and striking horses reflect the shift of attention from restless thought to holy awareness—the external world mirrors this inner revision as astonishment and disorder yield to clarity. By choosing the one reality, I AM, you align with a power that transmuted fear into discernment, and a frightened crowd becomes a chorus of awakened perception surrounding your inner Judah. The burdensome stone becomes a pivot toward grace, not a weight. Trust this inner drama, and the world follows your transformed inner vision.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM as your permanent reality, revise the scene now, and feel the cup of trembling draining away as your inner sight opens and calm replaces fear.
