Neville Goddard on Zechariah 4:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.

10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

Zechariah 4:6-10

Biblical Context

The passage proclaims that divine work comes from the Spirit, not human strength, turning obstacles into progress and guaranteeing completion of what began. It honors small beginnings as the Spirit moves toward completion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let me speak in Neville’s cadence: The scene is not a distant event but your present consciousness. The mountain is a mental obstruction I can dissolve by refusing to move by outer force. 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit' becomes a command to attend inwardly and let inner energy reconstruct. Zerubbabel stands for the choicest action of my desire meeting the inner I AM, the ruler who measures and completes. The hands that laid the foundation symbolize my initial act of imagining a temple; the promise that they shall finish it shows my inner self can complete what began in imagination if I persist in inner alignment. The seven eyes of the LORD, seven facets of perception, scan my life, revealing truth and guiding steps. Do not despise small beginnings; the day of small things is grace inviting continuation. Grace, grace is spoken over the finish; I am under divine favor as I walk in awareness, letting my inner temple rise to meet every need.

Practice This Now

Assume for 5 minutes: 'The Spirit is at work in me now.' Close your eyes, feel the inner energy soften resistance, and picture the mountain turning into a plain as you breathe grace into every corner of your being.
