Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 24:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 24 in context

Scripture Focus

25Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

26That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

Ezekiel 24:25-26

Biblical Context

Plain sense: The passage describes a day when external supports are taken away—the strength, the joy, the desires, and the things people fix their minds on—and a survivor comes to tell you the news, so you may hear.

Neville's Inner Vision

That day is not a calendar date but a shift in consciousness. When the world takes from you your strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of the eyes, and the very things you fix your mind upon, it reveals your inner state. In Neville's terms, the I AM—the sole awareness you are—remains untouched by form; the outer loss tests your identification, not your essence. The 'escapeth' that comes to you is the part of your mind that has escaped old attachments and now enters to hear from your inner witness. Hearing it with your ears is hearing with your inner ear, recognizing that the news is a reflection of your own belief. Do not chase external proofs; revise the state you accept as real. Assume you are the I AM, already possessing the strength, joy, and focus you seek, and watch the outer picture align with your inner truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the finished state—strength, joy, and focus already yours—and hear within the announcement that you are the I AM. Let the sense of outer loss become the signal that your inner reality is fully awake.
