The Inner Gap Guardian

Ezekiel 22:28-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 22 in context

Scripture Focus

28And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
29The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 22:28-31

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 22:28-31 shows prophets who mislead and a land oppressed. God seeks a man to stand in the gap, but none is found.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this Ezekiel passage, the drama unfolds in the theater of consciousness. The 'prophets' who daub with untempered morter are not distant seers; they are the habitual thoughts that pretend to speak for God while not springing from true inspiration. Vanity and divining lies signify interior beliefs that misread reality, claiming 'Thus saith the Lord GOD' when the Lord has not spoken in my present awareness. The people who oppress the poor and the stranger mirror inner patterns—resentment, grasping fear, and neglect of the vulnerable aspects of self. I sought for a man to stand in the hedge and repair the gap—that is, I desire a state of consciousness strong enough to hold the line against destructive impulses. Finding none means I tolerated fragmentation in my own inner life, so the land becomes subject to the consequences of its unchallenged beliefs. Yet the I AM within can be awakened to stand in that gap now. When I assume the state of conscious guardianship and revise every inner utterance to align with truth, I reframe the land, and wrath becomes clarity; recompense becomes corrective understanding.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the stance of a single, fearless inner guardian who says 'This is truth now.' Consciously revise any inner utterance that claims a separate will and feel a hedge forming around your inner land.
