Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 10:18-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 10 in context

Scripture Focus

18Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

19And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

21Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

Ezekiel 10:18-22

Biblical Context

The glory of the LORD departs from the temple threshold and rests above the cherubim. The cherubim lift their wings and move, with the living creatures advancing straight ahead, signaling holiness and separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel's vision, the departing glory is not punishment but a drama of consciousness. The threshold is the state you once called home, the place you believed God stood outside and apart. When the glory rises and the wheels roll away, what moves is your sense of self—an inner shift from a separated temple to the realization that all life unfolds from the I AM you are. The cherubim are your four faculties - perception, feeling, will, and action - moving in four directions with their four wings. The hands of a man beneath their wings symbolize that imagination—the inner creative power—operates through you. Their faces resemble what you saw by the river, reminding you that the inner forms are your own beliefs and thoughts. They go straight forward, indicating that your inner forces are now directed toward a new center of awareness. The departure invites you to recognize that God is not confined to any place but is the living I AM everywhere you stand. The moment of withdrawal becomes a turn toward a larger, intimate presence.

Practice This Now

Assume you stand at the inner threshold and feel the divine presence everywhere. Revise any sense of absence by affirming the I AM is here; the glory is now where you stand, and breathe until it feels real.
