Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 2:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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 2:8-10

Biblical Context

God instructs the son of man to listen and not rebel, and to eat the scroll given to him. The scroll, spread before him, is filled with lamentations, mourning, and woe.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, Ezekiel 2:8–10 speaks not of outward duty but of inward surrender. 'Be not thou rebellious' is the inner posture of a mind that resists change; the command to 'eat that I give thee' signals the necessity of ingesting the word as a state of consciousness. The hand that brings a roll of a book is your own I AM reaching into your inner space, offering a script that is both written within and without. When it is spread before you, the words of lamentation, mourning, and woe reveal the texture of your current feelings and beliefs, the conditions you have unconsciously accepted as reality. Neville would say: the prophet's job is not to preach doom, but to become the state that creates the scene; by swallowing the inner script, you reform the world you inhabit. So, align yourself with the living truth you are now choosing, and let the words rewrite your inner weather, turning sorrow into lucid perception and purposeful action.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit with eyes closed, imagine an open scroll being offered; eat the words and feel them fill your chest; then speak from that inner authority as if the revelation is already true.
