Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 23:5-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

5And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

6Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

7Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

8Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

9Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

10These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.

Ezekiel 23:5-10

Biblical Context

Ez Ezekiel 23:5-10 presents Aholah’s adulterous alliances with Assyria and Egypt as a vivid image of inner idolatry and attachment to external power. The text ends with exposure and judgment, showing that clinging to idols brings consequence and loss.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse Ezekiel 23:5-10 becomes a map of consciousness: Aholah is a state of mind that forgets the I AM and dotes on imagined lovers. The blue-clad captains and rulers stand for your own vivid thoughts about security and power. You dote on these Assyrians and Egypts of memory, worshiping what you think will save you, and in that worship you defile your inner wholeness. The scene is not external history but the dream of consciousness speaking to you: when you identify with forms rather than with the I AM, you expose your nakedness and invite judgment. The result is not punishment from without, but a natural alignment with the law of consequence: your inner sons and daughters—your faculties of feeling, imagination, and discernment—are sacrificed to the idol you worship, and you are judged by the very powers you have given authority. Now turn, reimagine the scene. Know that you are the I AM, and the thoughts you choose to entertain are only images in your own mind. Let the lovers fade, and awaken to a single, unassailable identity that cannot be moved by circumstance. This is exile and return in one breath: return to the inner throne where peace, clarity, and creative power reside.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next few minutes, assume the feeling of the I AM governing your life. Silently revise any attachment to outward powers by stating I AM the source of all security and that nothing outside me controls my fate.
