Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 17:22-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

22Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:

23In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

Ezekiel 17:22-23

Biblical Context

God declares that a high branch from the cedar will be taken and planted on a high mountain, growing into a goodly cedar whose shade shelters all. That inner image points to the renewal of consciousness within you.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner script, the high cedar is your consciousness elevated; the highest branch is the I AM you are, unconditioned and present. By seeing and claiming this 'branch' as already yours, you plant it on the imagined high mountain of Israel—the inner sovereignty where you decide what rules your mind. When you dwell as that cedar, its boughs spread into your daily life; fruit appears as new possibilities, relationships, health, and purpose. The birds of every wing resting in the shade represent thoughts, ideas, and opportunities that come to rest in the shelter of your inner frame. This is not about outward events but about shifting your inner state until it bears outward fruit. The Lord's promise is your inner alignment becoming manifest: you are the mountain-top king planting a growth that renews your entire world. Practice your imagination until the feeling of 'it is so' fills your chest, and watch the outer scene follow suit.
