Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 15:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 15 in context

Scripture Focus

3Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?

5Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?

Ezekiel 15:3-5

Biblical Context

Wood represents outward tools and beliefs about usefulness; in the fire, it is burned, revealing that external forms cannot serve true work. The passage points to judgment exposing the emptiness of clinging to symbols.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a state of consciousness, not a pile of objects. The wood stands for an outward belief of usefulness—an image of doing that you think will prove you. The fire is the light of awareness that devours the ends and the center, leaving nothing but your I AM presence. If you still imagine that work depends on certain forms, you remain the burned wood, unable to accomplish from true identity. But as you shift, you remember: I AM is the source of all action; imagination is the instrument by which reality is drawn into expression. The verse invites you to revision—see that your value does not come from what you hold or hang on a wall, but from the inner recognition that you are consciousness animating form. When you inhabit that truth, the 'burning' becomes a refining, not a loss, and true worship arises as the conscious alignment with I AM, the silent empowerer within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and audibly say I AM; feel the inner presence as real and complete. Then imagine the wood of old beliefs being burned away by your awareness, leaving you standing in the light of I AM ready to act.
