Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 17:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

7There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.

8It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

Ezekiel 17:7-8

Biblical Context

A vine is pictured leaning toward a great eagle for water, planted in good soil to bear fruit, symbolic of covenant loyalty and future prosperity.

Neville's Inner Vision

There stands in you the image of an eagle with wings wide, a symbol of help you imagine coming from beyond your own; the vine, your life, bends toward that imagined water, so your branches may drink and flourish. Yet the soil is good and the waters are a present grace within. The true meaning, in this Neville reading, is that the ‘covenant’ is not a political alliance but an inner yes to the I AM. The kingdom of God is the awareness you awaken to right now, the living water that continually nourishes you. When you hold yourself as the beloved vine—the one planted by God in an abundant soil—and you imagine the water of life flowing through the furrows of your inner plantation, you align your inner movements with the divine plan. The fruit you seek is the natural expression of your realized self, not a favor to be earned from without. The eagle’s aid appears only as a reflection of your own confidence in the I AM, a reminder that future fruit arises from present consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the vine watered by the I AM now. Revise any sense of need for external aid by feeling that inner awareness nourishes every branch.
