Neville Goddard on Zechariah 14:4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zechariah 14:4

Biblical Context

Plain sense: the verse describes a future moment when standing on the Mount of Olives, the mountain cleaves to create a great valley.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, this is a map of consciousness. The feet on the Mount of Olives are your I AM, standing at the center of every scene you experience. When the mount cleaves toward east and west, it is not a geographical miracle but a turning of your attention—two currents of thought and feeling dividing and then reconciling inside you. The great valley that opens is the cleared ground of awareness, a space where old fears and rival desires fall away and you can see what was always present: the Kingdom of God within. The north and south halves represent the complementary energies of your mind that once pulled you in opposite directions; in this inner event, they are drawn into alignment under the one "I AM." Presence of God is not an external arrival but the realization that God is awareness itself, waking as your experience. Hear this interior news as you breathe: the landscape changes when you affirm, in felt sense, that you are the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and stand on your inner Mount of Olives; repeat I AM, visualize the mountain cleaving and a valley opening; feel the presence of God within and rest there for several breaths.
