Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 16:30-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

30How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;

31In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

32But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!

33They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

34And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.

Ezekiel 16:30-34

Biblical Context

The passage denounces a heart that builds idols and seeks gifts from many lovers, instead of remaining faithful to its true husband, the LORD. It contrasts outward displays of worship with inner loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, Ezekiel’s 'heart' is a state of consciousness, and the 'imperious whorish woman' stands for the habit of the mind to chase sensations, status, and external rewards rather than the inward presence of the I AM. The lines about building an eminent place in the head and setting high places on every street describe persistent thoughts and ego investments that pretend to govern your life. The 'adulterous wife' who takes strangers represents the mind inviting every passing impression and suggestion, instead of remaining yoked to the one true husband, I AM. Note that 'they give gifts to all whores' while you offer your gifts to all lovers—that is the mind scattering its energy outward, never finding true nourishment. The clause 'the contrary is in thee' and 'no reward is given unto thee' reveals that outward worship yields emptiness because the inner state is the real actor. Read this as a call to revision: you are not the external chooser, you are the I AM, the presiding presence. When you imagine the inner consciousness as the husband, the world rearranges to reflect that union, and what you seek from idols becomes the fullness of I AM here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM is the sole husband of your consciousness and revise the scene—let every outward 'lovers' melt into the inner presence. Feel that I AM ruling here and now until the sense of fullness becomes natural.
