Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 16:42-44 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

42So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

43Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

44Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

Ezekiel 16:42-44

Biblical Context

God declares that His fury and jealousy toward the people will rest and He will be quiet, after a reckoning for their neglect of youth. The line about the proverb shows outward judgments reflect inner patterns, like mother and daughter mirroring each other.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the 'I AM' is the quiet force that interprets Ezekiel's words as not punishment in time, but status of your states of consciousness. Fury and jealousy are not external gods chasing you; they are vivid feelings born from you forgetting your divine youth—the innocence you were created in. When you insist on the drama, God-like awareness becomes quiet, and that quiet is the return of your own remembrance. The moment you acknowledge 'the days of thy youth' as the original, you permit a new pattern to arise. Recompense becomes harmony: the consequences you see are the necessary expression of your dominant assumption. The proverb becomes a mirror you can choose to turn away from: rather than using it to justify a grievance, you use it as a cue to revise your inner state. You can choose to rest your fury by dwelling in the I AM, and watch your outer life adjust to the new inner decree.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume the feeling of the I AM resting the inner fury; feel the days of youth return as an inner memory, and let the new state of peace become your present.
