Neville Goddard on Zechariah 9:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Zechariah 9 in context

Scripture Focus

9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Zechariah 9:9-10

Biblical Context

Zechariah foresees a king arriving humbly on a donkey, bringing justice, salvation, and lasting peace, with his rule extending across the earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the whisper of Zechariah, you are being told of the I AM incarnate as a king who does not stride in armored pomp but rides a donkey, a symbol that power is alive in awareness, not in display. This king is the living principle within you—your conscious I AM—arriving with justice and salvation through a change of inner state. When you identify with this king, the external 'chariot' and 'horse' fade from your picture; your mind willingly relinquishes battle as you imagine peace formed in your own heart. The promise that his dominion is from sea to sea becomes a translation: your inner authority reaches every circumstance—that which you call life—without exception. The language of 'peace unto the heathen' becomes a directive to your beliefs: align every thought, fear, and desire with harmony, and watch how conditions soften. This is not a historical event; it is your inner revival—your awareness choosing to reign quietly yet decisively.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner scene: the I AM as a humble King riding into your day on the donkey of ordinary moments. Feel the peace fill your chest and declare softly, 'I AM peace in all I see,' sustaining that feeling for several minutes.
