Inner Covenant Restored in Ezekiel

Ezekiel 23:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

17And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
18So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
Ezekiel 23:17-18

Biblical Context

It portrays a symbolic self turning to exterior powers, defiling itself and becoming alien in mind. When the hidden immorality is exposed, the divine mind withdraws, echoing the sister's fate and the cost of misplaced loyalties.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Ezekiel, the body of a nation is a symbol of the inner state. When Babylonian loves come to her bed, they represent wandering thoughts and seductive images that lure the consciousness away from its true center. The defilement and alienation are not about geography but about where the mind forgets its real allegiance. The moment she discovers her whoredoms and nakedness, the I AM in God’s sense withdraws, not as punishment but as the natural consequence of consenting to appearances. Your awake imagination knows your true lover is consciousness itself; every time you treat an outer circumstance as consciousness’s source, you estrange your mind from its inner sister — the harmony of your own being. The husband of your soul, your spiritual center, is the one mindful witness you are; he withdraws when you chase idols, and returns when you acknowledge him again. This is not condemnation but a law of inner alignment: you revise the scene by insisting that your awareness remains intact, that nothing outside can alter the sovereignty of I AM within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are always in loyal union with I AM. Close your eyes, feel the bed of love as the place where God rests with you, and insist that no outer image can redefine your mind's allegiance.
