Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 12:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

Ezekiel 12:12-13

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 12:12-13 portrays the prince among them departing by twilight, covering his face so he cannot see the ground, and being ensnared and carried to Babylon where he dies, unseen.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ez 12:12-13 invites you to see the prince within as he moves through twilight, trying to exit by a hidden route, face veiled so he won’t look at the ground with the old eyes. The net I spread upon him and the snare are your habitual thoughts that bind you to a worn fate; Babylon is the dream of separation that seems to confine you, even unto death of the old self. But this is not a punishment; it is a map of your inner machinery. You are the I AM who can revise the scene. In the moment you awaken to that timeless presence, the twilight becomes a doorway. You do not need to see the ground with the old way of looking; you simply assume a state of consciousness in which the ground is already yours, in which the exile is over. The prince does not truly die; he is transfigured into the living awareness that perceives from within. Your task is to assume, to feel it real, and to dwell in the conviction that you are already in the land of your true being, regardless of outward appearances.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare 'I am the I AM.' Then revise a current scene of exile in your imagination, feeling the end-state as already yours, until the wall dissolves.
