Read Zechariah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Biblical Context

Zechariah 6:9-15 speaks of captives returning, crowns placed on Joshua the high priest, and a future Branch who will build the temple. It promises peace between priest and king, contingent on obedience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner vision is not a record of the past but a map of consciousness. The captives—Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah—are energies returning to your house; the silver and gold are your moments of awareness you invest in crown-true authority. Joshua, the high priest, is your present self; The Branch is the rising Christ within you that will build the temple in your mind. When The Branch sits on his throne, bearing the glory, there is a peace that passes understanding between your outer faculties and your inner priest. The crowns, gathered as a memorial in the temple, mark your remembered victories of consciousness. Those far off are the dispersed parts of you, drawn by the vow to obey the voice of the LORD within. And this comes to pass only as you diligently obey—assume the end is now, feel the royal crown upon your head, and act from that throne. This is your inner coronation, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume you are crowned Joshua, the priest-king, with The Branch building the temple within you. Feel the crown, sense peace between your thoughts and feelings, and carry that state into your day.
