Inner Lineage of Righteousness

Ezekiel 18:14-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 18 in context

Scripture Focus

14Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
15That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
16Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
17That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 18:14-17

Biblical Context

A son is not condemned for his father's sins if he chooses to live righteously. By avoiding idolatry and oppression, and by feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, he fulfills divine statutes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s verse, the father’s sins are not your future but a memory in the dream of life. The son who sees those sins and yet does not repeat them embodies a new state of consciousness—a fresh I AM choosing its own law. When he does not eat the mountains’ idolatries, when he does not oppress or defraud, when he shares bread with the hungry and covers the naked, he is proving that inner alignment with divine order. In Neville’s teaching, such actions are outward illustrations of an inward assumption fulfilled. The old pattern cannot govern you once you have assumed the quality of your true self, walked by your own statutes, and refused to participate in the previous way of life. Therefore, your life now mirrors the choice you make in consciousness: you live because you have chosen life, not because of ancestral guilt. The commandment becomes an inner habit, and the outer world responds to that faithful inner discipline.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume you are the son who walks in his own statutes; feel the relief of letting go old sins and acting with generosity toward the hungry and naked. Hold that feeling—real as if it were true now—and let it saturate your awareness until sleep.
