Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 16:35-39 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

35Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

36Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

37Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

38And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

39And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

Ezekiel 16:35-39

Biblical Context

The section reveals judgment on spiritual unfaithfulness, using the imagery of lovers and nakedness to show how idolatry exposes the inner self. It implies that when the inner life is divided, consequences follow.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present self is a composite image—an inner harlot—drinking from many idols of security, love, and status. The word of the Lord in Ezekiel is the diagnostic light that exposes the state your mind has chosen. When you believe in multiple lovers, you invite circumstances to mirror that split and you find your inner life suddenly stripped of symbols—eminent places, jewels, clothes—so that nakedness becomes not shame but clarity. The revelation is not punishment but a return to the one I AM you truly are. Judgment arises as a natural consequence of believing you are divided; yet the moment you withdraw belief from separation and rest in the God-state within, the external signs of idolatry melt away and you are left in pure presence. The blood and fury of life become energy redirected toward the unity of being. You are not being judged; you are being invited back to the single Self that governs all.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I AM' is the only reality; imagine all your attachments, opinions, and roles gathered before you as a single, radiant self, and revise them into harmony with this unity by feeling that you are already whole.
