Inner Hearing and Prophetic Refusal

Zechariah 7:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

11But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
Zechariah 7:11-13

Biblical Context

Zechariah 7:11-13 depicts a people who refuse to listen, turn from the law, and invite wrath through hardened hearts. It mirrors the inner pattern where consciousness resists its own law and silences the voice of the prophets within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah 7:11-13 is the portrait of your inner hearing and your inner hardness. The 'they' are not distant people but a state of consciousness that refuses the inward law and turns away from the voice of the prophets within. When you pull away the shoulder of your attention, when you plug your ears to the whisper of the Spirit, you are contracting into adamant stone. This is not punishment from outside; it is your own refusal to hear the law already stamped in your I AM. The moment you react as if the Oracle speaks elsewhere, you create a distance between your awareness and itself, and so you call forth a 'great wrath'—the friction of your own unacknowledged beliefs. But the remedy is simple: assume you hear. Return your attention to the inner law as if it speaks now through you; feel the words vibrating in your own chest; see the commandments as your own I AM commandments, not external decrees. In that, judgment dissolves into alignment, and the cry of the prophets becomes the joyful pulse of your awakening, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the role of one who hears the inner law now. Silently affirm, 'I am listening to the voice of the I AM; my heart is receptive, and the law speaks through me.'
