Biblical Context
Zechariah 3:9-10 speaks of a divine stone laid before Joshua, with seven eyes, through which iniquity is removed in one day, followed by a day of peace where people rest under vine and fig trees. It points to an inner transformation where forgiveness and harmony arise from a reoriented consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your life is the stone before Joshua—the seed thought you place at the threshold of your own consciousness. Joshua stands for the I AM in you, the leadership that governs your days. The seven eyes are the seven faculties of awareness—sight, knowledge, imagination, will, memory, judgment, and feeling—attuned to the divine I AM. When God says I will engrave the graving thereof, He is telling you to fix the truth upon your inner identity, stamping a lasting conviction that you are now forgiven and aligned with your true nature. I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day indicates a sudden inner conversion: guilt, limitation, and separation dissolve the moment you accept a new assumption about yourself. In that day, ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree—peace and abundance arise as the natural expression of your inner state. The outer world becomes the echo of your inner vision, not the cause of it. Practice: choose a single desired state and let it occupy your consciousness now; feel it fully, and let the old self be revised by the new conviction.
Practice This Now
