Inner Fire and Divine Judgment
Ezekiel 15:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jerusalem is described as a vine burned in the field. God sets His face against them, driving them through fires, and the land is desolate because of trespass.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this text the vine is your own consciousness, a living plant among the forest of thoughts. The fire is the self imposed furnace by which the I AM purges idle attachments and fear, not as punishment but as the birth of a higher state. When it says I will set my face against them, that is your awareness turning directly toward those habitual patterns and saying no more feeding on them. They go out from one fire and are devoured by another inner struggle that seems to destroy you, yet it burns away old identities. The desolate land is simply cleared ground, a new soil for the real you to grow. You will know that I am the LORD when you observe your old self evaporate under the light of awareness, and you stand in a truer sense of being. Trust that this purging is the mercy of your I AM, revealing freedom by inner judgment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close your eyes and assume the I AM as your only awareness. When inner flames rise, revise with, I am the awareness that purifies and makes the land fertile for a new self, and feel it real.
