Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 19:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

3And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

4The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

5Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

6And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

7And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.

Ezekiel 19:3-7

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of a whelp turned lion that devours; nations are drawn into captivity, and desolation follows as the roar echoes through the land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture Ezekiel's verse as a parable of your own inner theater. The whelp is a small, restless state of mind—an impulse that believes it must rule the scene. It grows into a lion by persistent attention, learning to catch the prey and devour, until the outer world echoes its conquest. The nations, the pits, the land of Egypt signify the outward circumstances that respond to your inner posture. When you wait and your hope is lost, another whelp arises—another firm belief—and it moves among other lions, roaring to prove its reality. The result is desolation: palaces lie empty, cities crumble, and the land shudders with the roar. Yet this is not punishment but the natural manifestation of a state. You are the I AM, the consciousness that never changes. By revision—assume a new, higher lion, or better, a state of peace that does not prey on life—you reverse the cause. When you identify with the I AM and hold to that inner king, the roars subside, the land renews, and the Kingdom of God becomes your lived experience.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as ruler of your inner landscape; revise a troubling belief by saying, 'I AM the creator of my peace.' Then feel that truth as already real.
