Building the Inner Temple Through Obedience
Zechariah 6:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse promises that those far off will come to help build in the LORD's temple, and this occurs when you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. In Neville's terms, all restoration begins as an inner alignment of consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Zechariah's word is a map of your inner life. The 'far off' are go-unnoticed parts of your consciousness, the 'temple' is the state of awareness you inhabit. The LORD's messenger is the I AM within—the intelligent sense that guides you. When you choose to obey the inner voice—quiet, precise, and loving—you gather these dispersed parts into a central, holy self. The one who 'sent me' is your own higher self coming forth to direct your inner work; obedience is not moral duty but alignment of attention, belief, and feeling with that inner command. As you do, the distant aspects of your life rearrange and join the temple you stand in. The promise of restoration becomes real to you because you stop negotiating with fear and start living from the inner directive. The temple does not rise from external acts but from your sustained, imaginative conviction that you are already that temple, built by the will to hear and obey the inner I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume you are already obeying the inner voice; silently declare, 'I am guided by the I AM within me, and I build the temple now,' and let the feeling of certainty rise until it feels true.
