Temple, Throne, and Peace Within
Zechariah 6:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of an inner figure who builds the LORD's temple within, bears divine glory, and rules from a united throne as both king and priest. The 'counsel of peace' sits between these aspects, harmonizing inner authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the man who builds the temple is your I AM, your sovereign awareness. He does not seek a distant temple outside, but makes the temple in your mind where glory is borne by your consciousness. When you sit in stillness and imagine yourself on a throne of awareness, you are not merely imagining power—you are assuming it as your present fact. To see him rule is to feel the I AM ruling with calm, unshakable peace, uniting the two offices of king and priest into one functioning principle. The counsel of peace that rests between them is your inner agreement: you observe your feelings, replace lack with remembrance of truth, and let that truth govern every thought. The outer world mirrors this inner sovereignty as the temple rises, the glory shines, and harmony becomes your ordinary state. This is not future hope but current awareness realized through the act of assumption and revision, letting the inner picture govern the outer scene.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet and assume I AM as king and priest over your inner temple. Revise any sense of separation and feel the peace between them.
