Neville Goddard on Zechariah 5:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

3Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

4I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

Zechariah 5:1-4

Biblical Context

The flying scroll appears as a universal law moving through the earth, exposing theft and false oaths and erasing what is built on deception. It ends by removing the outer structures that support a dishonest self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah’s flying scroll is not a punishment from above but the Law of Truth entering your inner field. The 'curse' reveals the thoughts and habits that steal your peace—beliefs about lack, betrayal, or unworthiness. When the scroll moves into the 'house' of your mind, it consumes the counterfeit buildings—the timber and stones—those imagined supports of a self built on fear. In Neville’s terms the curtain is lifted by your I AM awareness; you are not judged by life, you awaken to a state you already are. As you hold the idea that the truth already surrounds and fills you, your inner landscape rearranges to reflect that truth. The external world then aligns with your revised consciousness, not by punishment, but by the natural law of your own life responding to the state you accept as real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare I AM as the steady observer. Visualize the flying scroll entering your mind's room and dissolving the lie that you are unworthy or unsafe; feel the truth taking its place.
