Dissolving Opposition Within Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville Goddard vantage, the day Zechariah speaks of is the moment I turn my attention away from the imagined conquerors and return to the I AM that I am. Jerusalem, in this inner vision, is the serene sanctuary of awareness—the unshakable I. The nations that come against it are my restless thoughts, fears, and identifications that pretend to rule my life. They appear as foes, slogans, and stories about lack, separation, and danger, but they are nothing more than transient movements of my mind. The promise to destroy them is a call to revise, not to battle, but to withdraw belief in their power. When I acknowledge that there is only one reality—the I AM—these distractions lose their hold, and the inner temple remains unharmed. The moment of true discernment is the judgment that frees, allowing the Kingdom of God to flow as my living state. In this alignment, the outer world reflects a new order: harmony, clarity, and a confident sense of being rather than a concerned search for security.
