Neville Goddard on Zechariah 14:16-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Zechariah 14:16-19

Biblical Context

The passage prophesies that survivors from all nations will ascend annually to worship the King and keep the Feast of Tabernacles; those who do not will face drought and punishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah speaks not of distant armies but of your inner geography. The 'left of all the nations' are the remaining streams of fear, doubt, and habit that linger in your mind. They return year after year to your inner city, and the king they must bow to is the I AM, the quiet ruler within you. To worship the King is to align attention with the one awareness that you are, not with passing opinions. Keeping the feast of tabernacles is a living practice of dwelling in your true dwelling place—an inner tabernacle where you acknowledge God as I AM. Rain follows only when that inner land is cultivated; when any part of you refuses to ascend to Jerusalem in consciousness, that sector experiences drought—the absence of the desired blessing. The 'Egypt' and 'heathen' plagues illustrate how beliefs not anchored in awareness dry out your experience. The message: choose to inhabit the kingly awareness now, and the outer world will reflect the inner festival of peace and plenty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm 'I AM' as king of your inner city. Dwell there for a minute, feeling the rain of blessing as you acknowledge the I AM within, and revise drought thoughts by returning to the feast of awareness.
