Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 14:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 14 in context

Scripture Focus

10And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;

11That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 14:10-11

Biblical Context

The passage states that people bear the consequences of their own iniquity and that the prophet's punishment is the same as the one who seeks him; Israel is called to stop going astray and to become God's people, with God as their God.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville manner, the text reveals not external judgment but the inner law of consciousness. 'Punishment' is the natural result when a state of awareness forgets its oneness. The 'prophet' and the one who seeks him stand for the inner voices we entertain—our higher image and the ego clinging to limitation. When the house of Israel goes astray, it is the inner dissonance that pollutes, not a distant decree. The goal is not exile but return to a single, intimate relationship: I am the Lord, and I am your God, here and now. To read this as present experience is to surrender the split between observer and observed. Your life becomes a living covenant when you stop seeking outside proofs and begin recognizing the divine principle within as the only reality. The 'punishment' your mind fears dissolves as you realign with the I AM, letting holiness flow through every thought, every choice, every breath.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is the governing reality of your life right now; revise any sense of distance, and 'feel it real' by restating, 'I am God's people now, and God is my God in this moment' for one minute, breathing with it.
