Inner Kingdom Transformation
Zechariah 9:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zechariah 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It speaks of a future purification of a hostile people who belong to God. Those who remain are set to govern within an inner kingdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Zechariah’s vision, Ashdod is a stubborn state of mind and the 'bastard' is the split-off self that imagines itself apart from God. The I AM is reshaping the inner geography, not the outside world. I watch the ego’s pride—the Philistines—diminish as I refuse to identify with its warlike stories and hunger. When I declare that the blood is taken from my mouth and the abominations from between my teeth, I am cleansing my thoughts and words, not polishing a distant land. The remnant that remains is aligned with God and rises to govern in Judah—the inner authority that guides my life toward harmony with the one Presence. Ekron becomes a conquered territory within, a Jebusite now offered to the sacred city of peace. The prophecy thus unfolds as an inner transformation: enemies are converted to servants, and the whole inner nation comes under the Kingdom of God within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling 'I am for God.' Revise any prideful voice by imagining it dissolving, then envision the remnant rising to govern your inner land with calm, divine authority.
