Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 17:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

13And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:

14That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.

Ezekiel 17:13-14

Biblical Context

The passage describes the king's seed entering a covenant; stability comes to the kingdom when that inner pledge is kept, keeping the realm grounded rather than exalted. Preserving fidelity to the inner word sustains the outer form.

Neville's Inner Vision

All phenomena are states of consciousness; the king's seed is the living aspect of you that desires mastery. The covenant with him is your inner agreement to remain faithful to the I AM within, not to chase outward power. When you keep that covenant, the kingdom becomes base and enduring, not by force but by alignment with inner law. The mighty of the land are the temptations to lift yourself above your own word—pomp, pride, outward show. Yet true standing comes from obedience to your inner covenant. If you revise by entering the feeling of the fulfilled state—assume you are the ruler who has kept his word—the outer world will reflect a steady, grounded kingdom. In Neville's terms, imagination creates the outcome; the 'standing' of your kingdom follows the certainty you cultivate within, not the other way around.
