Measuring the Inner Jerusalem

Zechariah 2:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Zechariah 2:1-3

Biblical Context

Zechariah 2:1-3 depicts a man with a measuring line and two angels, signaling inspection and promise over Jerusalem. It invites a look into the size of the city, symbolizing the breadth and length of the inner realm God seeks to renew.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, this vision is not a distant geography but an interior audit. The man with the measuring line is your own attention, standing before the inner city of your soul. As you lift your eyes, you are called to notice the extent of your current state of consciousness. Jerusalem, measured in breadth and length, becomes the scale of your inner Kingdom, a measure you invent by assumption. The two angels who depart and meet are facets of your awareness—the messenger of possibility and the steward of order—moving within you to establish form from formlessness. The presence of God, seen as the I AM, is the constant backdrop against which your imagined city grows: when you acknowledge that you are the I AM, perception shifts, and what you deem Jerusalem appears in your life as renewal and promise. The vision teaches that renewal comes through conscious design: you decide the size and duration of your inner reality, and it manifests outwardly as opportunity, peace, and alignment with the divine.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and feel you are measuring your inner Jerusalem. Assume you are already in the state of breadth and length you seek, and feel it real by silently affirming I AM the I AM within.
