The Inner Covenant Net
Ezekiel 17:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 17:19-21 declares that God will recompense the one who despised the oath and covenant; the offender is ensnared, taken to Babylon, and scattered, so all shall know the Lord has spoken. The passage shows outward consequences reflecting inner states—your thoughts and loyalties become the theater of fate.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold that the Lord GOD in Ezekiel is the I AM you are right now. The verse speaks of an oath despised and a covenant broken not as history’s accident, but as a state of consciousness you have entertained. The net and the snare are your fixed beliefs, the stories you tell about lack and danger that trap attention in Babylon—the dream of appearances. The scattering to every wind is the dispersion of inner unity, until you discover that the LORD has spoken it within you as law. The remedy is a deliberate inner act: revise by assuming the oath kept, the covenant intact, regardless of outward evidence. When you feel the reality of that steadfast I AM, the outward snare loosens and the supposed exile dissolves, for consciousness alone writes the world. You are the lawgiver who says, thus it is, and the world mirrors the renewed covenant you accept in the depths of your being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare I am the covenant kept; I am the I AM, and feel its certainty now. Then vividly picture stepping free from the net and returning to a bright inner garden where the decree is already done.
