Neville Goddard on Zechariah 3:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,

7Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Zechariah 3:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage presents Joshua as a figure of inner consciousness invited to walk in God's ways and keep His charge; obedience grants governance over God's house and courts.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the angel of the LORD is the inner voice of truth, gently protesting the old self. The decree from the LORD is not distant law but a description of your true state: to walk in divine ways is to align with the I AM you are. When you accept the condition that you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you are performing a shift in consciousness, not a command you must fear. If you persist, you shall judge my house and keep my courts, and you will find places to walk among the beings who stand by, all arising from your disciplined attention and loyal focus. The protest fades as you maintain the new stance, and authority over your inner temple is granted because you are no longer measuring yourself against lack but acting from covenant loyalty. This is the inner architecture: alignment, obedience, and the creation of a sacred space where your thoughts and feelings are governed by divine order.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you already walk in God's ways today. Declaratively, feel that you govern your inner temple and visualize Joshua among the inner council approving your new state.
