Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 21:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 21 in context

Scripture Focus

21For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

22At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

Ezekiel 21:21-22

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 21:21-22 shows a king using outward signs to shape fate; the inner lesson is that such divination reveals a state of consciousness rather than true guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

At the fork Ezekiel places the king as he consults bright arrows, images, and even liver divination—outer signs trying to fix a future. In Neville’s psychology, this is a vivid picture of a state of consciousness at war with itself, a mind seeking control by matter rather than awakening to the I AM within. The arrows are quick thoughts; the bright arrows are attention given to a desired outcome; the liver-gazing and idols are rigid beliefs that feed certainty but imprison the imagination to a single script. When you believe you can shape Jerusalem’s fate by outward rites, you are reenacting a pattern: choosing a future by imagining the means rather than revising the condition itself. The prophecy invites you to notice the inner movement—the right hand of plans, the schemes to flood the gates—and to return to one law: the end imagined as present. So, replace external divination with a single, inner assumption: you are the I AM, and the world follows that state.

Practice This Now

At the fork of your own mind, assume I AM awareness as present now; revise the imagined future by feeling the desired outcome as already real and let that inner state steer your next move.
