Seal of Inner Purity: Zechariah 5:8
Zechariah 5:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zechariah 5:8 shows wickedness cast into a basket and sealed with lead, symbolizing its removal from the land. It points to containment, purity, and the pursuit of holiness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's lens, Zechariah’s scene becomes a map of inner life. The wickedness is not a person but a state of mind you have allowed to speak within you. The ephah is your mental vessel, an intentional container where each thought you do not affirm as yours is placed. The lead on the mouth is your decision to silence its voice, not by repression but by inward consent: you, the I AM, refuse to let that thought speak through you. Casting it into the basket, you acknowledge it without identifying with it, and you seal it so its energy cannot leak into your daily life. In this light, the vision asks you to maintain purity and integrity by separating the problematic thought from the living you are. As you practice, you realize you are not governed by wickedness but by the fixed awareness of I AM, which remains unaffected by transient impressions. The act of containment becomes a spiritual discipline that clarifies what you allow to form your life. You are the seer and the sovereign of your inner world.
Practice This Now
Name a troubling thought, close your eyes, and imagine placing it into a small ephah, then press a lead lid onto its mouth. Declare 'I AM' and feel your inner purity rise as the thought is sealed away.
