Neville Goddard on Zechariah 14:4-5 - 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.

5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Zechariah 14:4-5

Biblical Context

Zechariah 14:4-5 depicts the Mount of Olives cleaving to form a great valley, creating a path of safety as the LORD comes with the saints.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah’s imagery is not a geographical forecast but a map of your inner life. The Mount of Olives represents the edge of your current awareness where fear and old beliefs cling. When you identify with separation, the mountain remains and light eludes you. Yet the prophecy speaks of the mount cleaving, a inner earthquake that unlocks a vast valley. The east-west splitting signals the dissolving of conflicting thoughts, leaving room for a single, expansive consciousness. The valley becomes the place you turn to not in flight from danger, but in choice to align with truth and clarity. Then the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee: in Neville terms, the I AM enters as the perceiver and power of realization, bringing with it higher states you once named as saints. When you persist in the felt presence of that Presence, the inner upheaval becomes a release from limitation. Deliverance is now—the recognition that you stand in the Kingdom within your own consciousness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and imagine standing on the Mount of Olives in your mind; let the ground cleave and a valley open, revealing the I AM coming with the saints. Rest in the felt sense of that Presence for a moment, then affirm “I AM that I AM” as your immediate experience.
