Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 13:8-9 - 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.

Ezekiel 13:8-9

Biblical Context

God declares He is against those who speak vanity and lies. Those false words are to be removed from the assembly and the land, so that you may know the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s warning, vanity and lies are not external wrongs but inner states of consciousness. When the Lord says He is against you, He is declaring that the old belief-patterns no longer govern the mind that knows the I AM. In Neville’s terms, these 'prophets' are habits of thought that misread reality; they must be removed from the assembly of your true self and from the land you inhabit inwardly. As you refuse to give them power, you disentangle from the dream and begin to awaken to the living truth inside. The process is not punishment but alignment: you replace a counterfeit projection with a living awareness, and the inner landscape shifts accordingly. Speak to yourself in the present: I am the Lord of my inner land; only truth arises here; vanity and lies fall away as you hold the feeling of that truth. Then you will know that the I AM is Lord within you, and your inner Israel will enter its rightful peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly and notice a recurring vain thought; revise it by declaring, I am the Lord of my inner land, and feel this truth as already real.
