Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 21:28-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 21 in context

Scripture Focus

28And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

29Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.

30Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

31And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

32Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

Ezekiel 21:28-32

Biblical Context

Ez 21:28-32 proclaims that Ammon will face divine judgment and total desolation. Vanity and deceit lead to a reckoning, and their memory and power in their homeland are declared to end.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the Ammonites are the stubborn beliefs you harbor about yourself—vanity, vanity that guards a fragile sense of self and deceit that rationalizes separation from God. When Ezekiel speaks of the sword drawn, he is signaling the exact moment your consciousness may cut away those thoughts with unwavering attention. The 'day' when iniquity ends is the instant you refuse to energize the lie any longer; you do not chase punishment, you witness the end of a false self by choosing the reality of I AM here and now. Shall I return to sheath? You answer internally: I do not return to old stories; I stand in the fire of truth and let the lie burn away, not me. I pour indignation upon the false image and blow upon it with the fire of certainty until it dissolves into fuel for a new birth of awareness. The land is your current state of consciousness; with God’s word I am remade, no memory of the previous self remains, and you are free to awaken to a true self that is always present in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM presence has already dissolved the Ammonite belief; revise inwardly: 'Vanity and deceit have no power over me; I am the I AM now.' Then feel a lightness in the chest as you imagine the old pattern crumbling and dissolving.
