Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 17:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

15But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

Ezekiel 17:15

Biblical Context

The verse portrays a ruler who seeks Egyptian aid by sending ambassadors, illustrating a mental stance of dependence on external powers rather than fidelity to the covenant. Its inner message speaks to us about where we place trust—inside identity with God or in worldly guarantees.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezekiel 17:15 is not a political admonition but a map of consciousness. The king’s sending ambassadors to Egypt is a symbolic act of seeking security from an external power; Egypt stands for worldly strategy, material means, and the fear-based belief that protection comes from clever alliances. In Neville’s terms, the true rebel is the one who lives as a separate self, who trusts the outer apparatus more than the I AM within. The covenant is your inner agreement with God—the unshakeable awareness that you are the expression of divine law. When you imagine you can prosper by external pacts, you break this inner covenant and invite the sense of instability into your life. Yet the text also asks a question: shall he prosper, shall he escape? The implied answer is found not in armies but in consciousness; if you remain fixated on Egypt, you will not find lasting deliverance. If, on the other hand, you revise the stance—recognize that the I AM is your true source and that you are already in covenant with the divine—you realign with the law of supply. Then prosperity is the natural witness of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; revise by declaring, 'I am the I AM; I choose the covenant now.' Feel the inner light secure you, and imagine the outer world responding to that certainty as if it were already done.
