Neville Goddard on Zechariah 5:7-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

8And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.

10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?

11And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Zechariah 5:7-11

Biblical Context

An ephah contains wickedness sealed with a lead lid; two winged women lift the burden and carry it to establish a house in a new inner land.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner vision, the heavy talent of lead is the symbol of a belief you call wicked—an inner heaviness cast into the mouth of your own thinking. The ephah is the container of your thoughts, and the lid pins down that judgment, showing that you have the power to seal what you deem impure or untrue. The two women with wind in their wings are the two faculties of imagination and faith within you, lifting and carrying the burden upward toward heaven. They bear the ephah to a new site—the land of Shinar—where you purpose to build a house upon a new foundation. This is not about outward exile, but about reclaiming your inner geography, relocating judgment to a higher register, and establishing a lasting base for truth within. The message is that you can move any conviction you call wicked into a structure that rests on the I AM, a mental home that will endure.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you have already placed the burden of a mistaken belief inside your inner ephah, sealed it with lead, and sent it upward to establish a new, stable mental house on the I AM.
