Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 2:1-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

4For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

9And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

10And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Ezekiel 2:1-10

Biblical Context

God tells Ezekiel to stand and listen, then empowers him by the Spirit and commissions him to speak to a rebellious people. He must receive and internalize the message (the scroll) before delivering it, regardless of fear or opposition.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are not merely reading a chapter; you are awakening your own I AM. When God says stand upon thy feet, He speaks to the moment your consciousness decides to rise from slumber into a defining state. The Spirit that enters and sets you on your feet is the shift of attention into a new, living awareness—your inner authority made tangible. The rebellious children are the stubborn beliefs and habits you have allowed to govern you; the message you are to speak is the quality of consciousness you choose to emit. The roll of a book—written with lamentations and woe—becomes the inner script of your past self, ready to be rewritten. Speak My words unto them begins the practice of inner dialogue that aligns your thoughts with the sacred decree of your I AM. Open thy mouth and eat that I give thee invites you to digest an inward instruction until it becomes your visible approach to life. The audience is inner; the proof is felt in your readiness to act from a present, empowered state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare 'I am the I AM standing here now,' and imagine a scroll opening before you with your next step. Then revise fear by affirming inner power until it feels real.
