Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 19:10-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

10Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

11And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

12But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

13And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

14And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:10-14

Biblical Context

The passage portrays a mother as a vine lush with waters, soon toppled by fury to a desert land, with fire consuming her fruit and leaving no strong rod to rule; this is a lament.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner listener, Ezekiel’s vine is your own state of awareness. The mother’s lush branches symbolize the faculties and authority you carry within—your sense of lineage and rulership in life. When fury comes and she is cast down, the east wind dries the fruit, and the rods break and burn, you feel your control collapse and your vitality wane. This isn’t a punishment from without, but a signal from your I AM that your focus has wandered from the waters that nourish life. The wilderness scene is a call to revise your inner climate: plant the vine again by living waters, re-energize your branches, and reestablish a rod of ruling within your consciousness. The ultimate message is sovereign: your awareness can regenerate order and power, even after apparent destruction, when you align with the life-giving source within. I AM is the principle that receives your imaginative revision; through that, the inner vine flourishes and the fire is transmuted into authority.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, "I am the waters that feed my vine of life." Then visualize the wilderness dissolving as your inner vine re-plants by living waters and the rod of rule grows anew; feel the certainty of authority returning.
