Neville Goddard on Zechariah 7:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

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:

14But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

Zechariah 7:13-14

Biblical Context

Plainly, the passage says that because they refused to listen, God did not hear them, and He scattered them with a whirlwind, leaving the land desolate.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah presents a scene of outer events that are really inner states of consciousness. The cry that goes unheard corresponds to a moment of believing you are separate from the I AM, a detachment that cuts you off from the living assurance of divine presence. The whirlwind is the churn of fear and disbelief that scatters your attention into unfamiliar, unknown nations—places you do not truly inhabit. The desolate land is the inner landscape emptied of the conviction that you are cherished and guided. Neville teaches that all such outward judgments are reflections of inner posture. By revision, you can reverse the pattern: affirm that the I AM is always present, that you are heard in this moment, and allow the feeling of being guided, held, and supported by a boundless presence. As you persist in this inward shift, the whirlwind quiets, the scattering ends, and the pleasant land reappears as your restored awareness. The cry becomes a cadence of faith, not a signal of lack, and you realize the land of abundance within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quiet and assume you are heard by the I AM now, feeling that certainty flood your chest; then envision the whirlwind dissolving and the pleasant land returning to your inner field.
