Inner Cleansing of Idols

Zechariah 13:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

2And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
Zechariah 13:2-4

Biblical Context

Zechariah 13:2-4 promises a day when idols are cut off from the land and unclean spirits pass away. It also speaks of false prophets being exposed and their deceptive visions losing power.

Neville's Inner Vision

On your inner stage, Zechariah’s day is the cleansing of your consciousness. The idols named in your thought are cut off and forgotten; the unclean spirits—the restless fears and compulsive beliefs—pass out of your land. When any so‑called prophet arises within you, its whisper is only a relic of past conditioning—your inner parents and tradition saying, ‘You must not live your dream.’ But you, perceiving with the I AM that you are, do not grant it reality. You revise by affirming: I am the only reality here; my awareness creates my world. Watch the old vision lose its force as you stand in quiet assurance. The symbols of deception—the rough garment of pretending to be holy or certain—are no longer needed; you disrobe and rest in simple, unadorned consciousness. In that day, the inner prophets are ashamed of their tales, for your true vision—born of I AM—is alive and undeniable. Let the land be cleared inside you; let the idol names disappear from memory, and let the voice of true being stand alone as your creative governor.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and declare, 'I AM the I AM; idols are cut off from my inner land.' Then feel the freedom as the old prophecies fade and your true vision stands in the foreground.
