Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 16:10-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

10I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

11I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

12And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

13Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

14And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 16:10-14

Biblical Context

God describes clothing and adornment that lead to beauty and a prosperous kingdom, signaling an inner state of divine provision.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Ezekiel's scene as my inner drama, where the I AM clothes me in royal view. The broidered garment, the fine linen, the jewels, and the crown are symbols of the thoughts I choose to wear in consciousness—wealth, beauty, grace. When I dwell in this inner image, I rise into a kingdom within, and the outer life reflects that ruling state. My comeliness, my prosperity, and the renown that follows are not external favors but inner confirmations: as I feel myself wrapped in divine provision, I become the person who naturally expresses abundance. The Lord God's declaration that I am decked with gold and silver is the affirmation that my mind is rich with creative power. Therefore I revise any sense of lack by returning to the image of near-perfect abundance, trusting the I AM to manifest through my disciplined imagining. In this practice, I do not chase gifts; I awaken to what I already am in God: a regal being, sovereign over an inner kingdom by imagination.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and assume the state: I am clothed in divine abundance, crowned with living awareness. Feel it now, revise lack into fullness, and let this image rule your day.
