Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 20:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

7Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

8But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

Ezekiel 20:7-9

Biblical Context

God instructs to cast away the abominations of the eyes and not to worship the idols of Egypt. They resist, and God vows fury, yet acts to keep His name unpolluted among the nations.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM speaks as the Lord of your true Israel. The 'abominations of the eyes' are not outer sins but the pictures your mind clings to—images of limitation, separation, and doubt. The 'idols of Egypt' are the old programs of earned security and story you keep replaying, the inert beliefs that say you are small. When you awaken to I AM as your only reality, God becomes your awareness, the light by which every scene is seen and rearranged. The call to cast away is a call to revise the inner scenery until old idols lose their sway; the rebellion is the old you resisting the new perception, and the 'fury' promised is only the pressure of a new state pushing out the old. Yet 'I wrought for my name's sake' reveals that the Self acts to keep the inner name unpolluted—to show you, in consciousness, that you are unbound. This is not history but a present inner drama: you can refuse the images of the world and live as the I AM that has already delivered you by your imagination, right now.
