Vine of Inner Judgment
Ezekiel 15:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage uses a vine as a prop to illustrate Jerusalem’s judgment—burned for fuel, unable to serve its purpose. It declares that the land will be desolate for trespass, as the people turn from covenant loyalty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the word of the LORD, the vine is not a mere plant but a state of consciousness. When the fire devours its ends and its midst, it is not punishment but a purification that exposes what it truly is. The LORD’s comparison to Jerusalem invites you to see your own inner forest: what you have presumed to be useful is melted away by contrast, revealing whether you have kept faith with your own I AM. The fire, then, is not outside judgment pressing upon you, but an inner movement of thought that tests loyalty to the I AM. Your true work is not to avoid the flame but to remain the observer who says, 'I AM'—the vine that remains when appearances burn away. When you identify with the consciousness that survives, you know that the land becomes desolate only to reveal your own untapped power; you are asked to turn, to align with integrity, and to let renewal arise from within. Practice now by assuming you are the unburned vine, already useful to the divine purpose, and feel that truth as real.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are the vine itself, not the fuel for the fire. Feel the I AM presence sustaining you, and declare, 'I am the vine that endures; the flame reveals me as I AM.'
