Judgment Hall of the I AM
Zechariah 3:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
In Zechariah 3:1, Joshua the high priest stands before the LORD's angel, while Satan stands at his right hand, resisting him. The scene reveals an inner courtroom where divine presence meets the mind's fear-based accusations.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture this scene as a portrait of your own consciousness. Joshua is not a man of stone but the high-priest state you carry—the steady I AM that stands as witness in you. The angel of the LORD is your higher awareness, the quiet voice of truth that sees through the noise of circumstance. Satan at Joshua's right hand represents the persistent habit of fear and accusation—the old story that you are withheld from your own good. The courtroom is not a place of judgment from without, but a moment of recognition inside: the apparent adversary tests your readiness to wake up to who you really are. When fear resists, you are invited to revise your position, not to fight God but to align with the state God already knows as true. Declaring, in effect, 'I AM present; I am accepted,' you shift your inner alignment. The more you dwell in that I AM presence, the less power the accuser holds, and your life begins to reflect the truth you already are—presence, approval, and wholeness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and replay the scene: Joshua before the LORD's angel, Satan at his right, resisting. Revise by affirming, 'I AM presence now; I am accepted,' and feel the reality of that state filling your being.
