Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 1:4-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

5Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

6And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

12And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.

13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

Ezekiel 1:4-14

Biblical Context

Ezekiel sees a northern whirlwind with fire and bright amber light, then four living creatures with human, lion, ox, and eagle faces; the beings move only as the Spirit directs.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ezekiel, the storm and fire are images of your inner state. The four living creatures are the four faculties of consciousness—man (intelligence), lion (courage), ox (strength), and eagle (perception). Their faces show that awareness witnesses all sides of life. The wings joined together symbolize unity of thought, feeling, will, and imagination moving as one under the Spirit—the I AM within you. The fire and lamps denote your soul’s inner brightness, the amber glow a signature of divinity etched in you. When you rest in this vision, you realize God is not distant but the I AM present within you, directing every inner movement. Practice a deliberate assumption: imagine your desired reality as already real, let the inner wind push your faculties forward on a straight path, and feel the fulfillment your consciousness intends to bring forth. This is prophecy as inner realization, aligning consciousness with form through quiet, faithful imagining.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and picture the amber fire and four faces; silently declare I AM this fulfilled state, then feel the reality of it now as your inner movement proceeds.
