I Am the Lord Within
Zephaniah 1:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zephaniah 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Zephaniah 1:3 speaks of a total divine purge: God will consume people, animals, birds, fish, and the stumbling blocks of the wicked, removing them from the land. In plain sense, it's a stark warning of judgment and accountability.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner temple of your awareness the LORD is the I AM that you are. When Zephaniah speaks of consuming the seen world the man the beast the birds the fish and the stumbling blocks it is the inner movement of your consciousness when you relinquish old identifications and attachments. The consuming is not violence but the collapse of images that keep you from realizing your true state. The wicked are the unfelt fears and thoughts that resist your unity with the good you seek. The verse invites a rearrangement of your inner landscape: clear away idols revise your sense of self as part of the whole and recognize your power to cut off the old forms from your inner land. The LORD is within you the I AM that speaks in present possibility; judgment becomes a natural law of your imagination a cleansing that prepares you to inhabit a higher state. By insisting on a new assumption you align with a reality where you no longer identify with lack or limitation and the world rearranges itself accordingly.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise by repeating the inner affirmation that you are the Lord within and you consume the old self, awakening to the new state. Imagine the inner landscape clearing, forms dissolving, and your awareness standing free in present possibility.
