Zion Within: I Am Restored

Zechariah 8:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Zechariah 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
2Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Zechariah 8:1-3

Biblical Context

Zechariah 8:1-3 speaks of the LORD's jealousy for Zion and His return to dwell in Jerusalem, making it a city of truth and a holy mountain.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the I AM speaks not of distant lands, but of your own consciousness. The word 'Zion' is your inner state of awareness where truth is the governing principle. The Lord’s jealousy signifies a fierce insistence that this inner city be true to its calling, not dispersed by fear, doubt, or lower desires. When God says 'I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,' He is telling you that your awareness has chosen to settle where light is welcomed, not where it is walled off by memory or habit. The 'city of truth' is the alignment of belief, feeling, and action with what you know to be real to you in the I AM. The 'holy mountain' is your highest vantage—the quiet certainty that all moves in consciousness under one sovereignty. This is not external restoration, but the internal reorganization of your living awareness, so that Zion becomes your steady home and Jerusalem your sacred center.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM within Zion' and feel it real as God dwelling at the center of your awareness; revise jealousy into devotion to truth and holiness, and imagine Jerusalem as your inner city.
