Ezekiel's Inner Fire

Ezekiel 20:45-49 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

45Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
46Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
47And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
48And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
Ezekiel 20:45-49

Biblical Context

God commands Ezekiel to prophesy against the forest of the south; a consuming fire will burn every green and dry tree and cannot be quenched. This signifies the Lord's judgment revealed to all who witness it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the forest of the south as your inner landscape—the hidden field where memories, fears, and habits take root. The word of the Lord becomes a call to awaken to the fire already kindled in consciousness. When you set your face toward the south and drop your attempts to control the scene, you invite the flame to reveal what you have kept hidden: both vitality (the green) and habit (the dry) are touched by the same truth—awareness. The unquenchable fire is not punishment but the I AM presence asserting life, erasing fear, doubt, and distraction so every corner of you comes into view under God’s light. All flesh shall see that the Lord has kindled it; you, the observer, become the witness and the witness becomes the fire that purifies. Parables are symbols guiding you inward, pointing to the single fact: consciousness is the fire, and you are the one who watches it burn. In this awakening, judgment becomes a doorway to recommitment to the living I AM within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise, 'I am the I AM; this inner fire purifies my inner forest.' Then feel the warmth of awareness as it burns away fear and limitation, right here, right now.
