Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 13:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

17Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

18And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

Ezekiel 13:17-18

Biblical Context

Ezekiel condemns those who speak for God from their own heart and use clever devices to captivate others. The passage invites us to turn from manipulation to inner alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold Ezekiel’s scene not as history, but as a map of your own mind. The daughters prophesy from their own heart—your ego-thoughts calling themselves truth, yet yoked to personal desire. To prophesy against them is to name the inner motive that would hunt souls for applause, to clothe it in divine language by saying 'Thus saith the Lord GOD.' The pillows sewn to armholes and kerchiefs upon every stature are the devices by which your imagination tries to capture attention, to persuade and save others by craft rather than by awakening. Real prophecy arises when your consciousness aligns with the one truth: I AM. The true prophet is not one who seeks to convert others, but one who awakens from within. The Lord God is the I AM, the living awareness behind all thoughts. When you set your face against that counterfeit voice and speak from the inner authority, you expose the false as illusion and invite your mind to rest in God.
