The Inner Coast Restored
Zephaniah 2:6-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Zephaniah 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The coast is designated as living spaces for shepherds and the remnant of Judah; the Lord visits, turning away their captivity, signaling restoration and renewed government over their lands.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner coast is the boundary where consciousness rests. When Zephaniah speaks of the coast, see it as the edge of your mind where the shepherding self tends your thoughts and rhythms. The remnant is the quiet, faithful I AM within you—the part that remains when you drop the ego’s noise. The Lord visiting them is the I AM turning toward you with lucid awareness, dissolving the sense of bondage by a shift in belief. This is not history’s action but your inner rearrangement: you feed upon a new pasture of peace, lie down in the evening of freedom, and awaken into a state where past exiles no longer rule you. The coast becomes a home in consciousness, a field where your desires are tended and the sensation of separation is reinterpreted as unity. In this moment, God’s visitation is your own realization that you never left the kingdom; you simply forgot you were there. The turning away of captivity is the moment you re-enter the consciousness that you are free now, here, in the present assumption.
Practice This Now
Assume the state, 'I am at peace on my inner coast,' and feel the breeze, shepherds, and flocks of your thoughts nourished by divine visitation; sit with that sensation for a few minutes, repeating, 'I AM with you; captivity ends now.'
