Inner Plague, Inner Resolve
Zechariah 14:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe a divine plague affecting those who fight Jerusalem, causing bodily decay and a breaking of social order; they show a tumult that drives neighbors against neighbors.
Neville's Inner Vision
The plague is not punishment from above but a dramatization of your current state of consciousness. When you oppose your inner Jerusalem, the body of your world decays; sight narrows and speech becomes harsh as belief in separation hardens. The great tumult among them is the inner resistance that erupts when you forget that the I AM is the sole power. The remedy is to return to that awareness and to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: wholeness, harmony, and a peaceful city inside. See your neighbors as aspects of your own consciousness and revise the scene from conflict to cooperation. You dream the conditions you see; you can re-dream them by focusing on the truth that you are one with the I AM. When you hold this in mind, the imagined plague dissolves and the outer world shifts to reflect your inner unity.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, affirm 'I AM' and revise the scene: I am whole, the inner Jerusalem is secure; feel the relief now and carry this feeling into your day.
