Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 20:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

4Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

5And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;

6In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

Ezekiel 20:4-6

Biblical Context

God asks the prophet to judge the people and reveal the abominations of their fathers; He recalls choosing Israel, revealing Himself as Lord, and leading them from Egypt toward a land flowing with milk and honey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the dialogue in Ezekiel as an inner conversation you hold with your own consciousness. The 'I AM' presence is the Lord your God within you, the steady fact that does not come and go with circumstances. When it says, 'in the day when I chose Israel, I lifted up my hand,' receive this as the moment you decide to acknowledge your true nature and to lift your attention out of old stories of limitation. The journey from Egypt to a land flowing with milk and honey is the inner movement from fear to trust, from identification with a lack of abundance to the experience of abundance already present in your awareness. The call to 'judge' their fathers invites you to release the inherited beliefs that no longer serve you and to adopt a new covenant of inner loyalty to God in you. The 'presence of God' is not distant; it is the activity of awareness that makes a scene feel real. When you inhabit this, the promised land appears as a vivid inner state you feel as true, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and declare: I AM the presence of God within me; I choose the promised land now. Dwell in the felt-reality for a minute, releasing lack and fear and allowing abundance to register as your truth.
