Neville Goddard on Zechariah 14:14-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

In Zechariah, the outward drama is a symbol for an inner drama. Jerusalem stands as your inner center—the I AM that simply is, the King seated in awareness. The wealth of the nations gathered around you represents the energy of your faculties drawn into focus when you acknowledge this kingship. The plague on the beasts signals the cessation of fearful, scattered thoughts that roam the tents of worry. When every remnant of the nations comes to worship the King, you are choosing a life of conscious sovereignty—dwelling in the Feast of Tabernacles as a daily practice of gratitude, shelter, and creative trust. The rule that those who do not come shall have no rain is your inner law: rain equates with nurture and inspiration. If you persist in neglecting the worship, your inner rain diminishes. Egypt and other nations symbolize outdated states of mind released by true worship. You are not serving a distant God but reviving your own awareness. Practice: assume the feeling that you are king over your life now; imagine the inner tabernacle filled with abundance as you align with the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, I am the King within my life; feel the wealth of nations gathered as abundance in my mind. Then revise fear-based thoughts into worshipful faith, dwelling in the tabernacle of awareness for 5 minutes today.
