Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 13:8-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

9And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:

11Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

12Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

13Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

14So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

15Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

16To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 13:8-16

Biblical Context

Ezekiel denounces prophets who speak vanity and false peace; the wall of their deception will collapse, exposing the true Lord. The text calls God’s people to discern authentic guidance from vanity and to trust in the Lord's true foundation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the chamber of your own consciousness, the Lord GOD is the I AM that remains unwavering. The so-called prophets who speak vanity are merely states of mind that claim, 'peace' without a firm inner ground. The wall you daub with untempered morter represents beliefs dressed in hopeful language but lacking true foundation. God declares His opposition to these voices and reveals that their wall will be torn down by inner winds of truth, exposing the solid foundation of I AM. When the wall collapses, you are led to recognize that the real peace comes not from external assurances but from aligning with the I AM within. The invitation is not to condemn others but to withdraw belief from vanity and to re-anchor in the unshakeable presence that governs from within. Practically, turn your attention from vanity to the I AM now, and let your inner state authorize peace to be your living reality.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: I AM peace now; revise any belief that promises peace apart from this inner foundation. See the daubed wall crumble in your mind, revealing the solid ground of I AM.
