Inner Endurance in Ezekiel 24:15-18
Ezekiel 24:15-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God commands Ezekiel to bear the loss of his wife with quiet obedience, not showing mourning, while he continues his prophetic duties.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theatre of consciousness, the 'desire of thine eyes' is your attachment to an external form. The stroke that takes it away is not punishment but an invitation to turn from image to I AM—the unchanging awareness that you are. To be told not to mourn is to be summoned to dwell in a state that does not depend on outward appearances. The morning instruction and the evening event together teach that your inner reality remains constant regardless of loss. In Neville's terms, imagination is the actor; the sign (the signs of mourning) is a symptom of your current state. Practice by assuming the end in the present: you are the I AM, unshaken by bereavement, and you move through the day performing duties as though your inner end is already fulfilled. The outward ritual—binding the old sign, wearing shoes, refusing the bread of men—becomes a discipline that aligns body with the inner decree. Your inner state creates the world; hold the state, and the world follows.
Practice This Now
Assume the end now: you are the I AM unshaken by loss; feel that presence, then proceed to your next duty as if your inner end is already realized.
