Zechariah 2:8

Biblical Context

God declares that he sent the messenger to the nations that spoiled you, and that to touch you is to touch the apple of his eye. It emphasizes cherished protection by divine awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, Zechariah 2:8 becomes a lesson in the state of consciousness. The 'glory' he speaks of is the awakening of your inner I AM, and the messenger is your own awakened mind. The nations that spoiled you are outward conditions born of fear; to touch you is to touch the sacred center of awareness you call I. When you inhabit the certainty that you are the I AM’s beloved, you dissolve the spell of attack and scarcity. Providence and Guidance arise from your inner state, reflected in every scene you meet. Your outer world then becomes a mirror of your interior posture, showing mercy instead of threat and protection instead of peril. The messenger comes after the glory to remind you that you have never left divine sight—you simply forgot you are the sight itself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume you are the apple of God’s eye, and feel the I AM guarding you here and now; hold that feeling until your sense of danger fades and your sense of being cherished remains.
