Read Zechariah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

8Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

9And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

10Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;

11Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

12And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

13Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.

15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Zechariah 6:8-15

Biblical Context

The vision shows a procession of exiles being brought to crown Joshua the high priest, while The Branch rises to build the temple and bear peace. Distant nations will assist, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Zechariah’s vision is your inner drama played in the theater of consciousness. The northward departure is the wandering of your attention away from the I AM; the Spirit remains, quieted by distraction. When the word comes, you gather those memories of captivity from Babylon and bring them into the house of the Lord within. You crown Joshua, the high priest, with silver and gold—an inner coronation. Speak, 'Behold, the Branch,' for The Branch shall rise in you, grow up out of your place, and build the temple of the LORD within. He shall bear the glory, sit and rule on his throne, and be a priest upon his throne; the counsel of peace shall be between the king and the priest, your two faculties in harmony. The crowns are a memorial of the Lord’s rule in you; those far off shall come to help you build as you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. This is the activation of inner kingship and priesthood through the Branch.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are Joshua crowned by The Branch; feel the unseen temple rise within you and let peace flow through your thoughts. Then carry this feeling into your next moment.
