Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 24:3-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 24 in context

Scripture Focus

3And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

4Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

5Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

6Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

7For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

8That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

9Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

10Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

11Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

12She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

13In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

14I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 24:3-14

Biblical Context

Ezekiel uses a pot as a symbol of Jerusalem, with the scum and blood representing corruption. The process of gathering, boiling, and purging shows judgment that exposes and removes impurity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel's boil and purge, you are not reading history but entering your own state of consciousness. The pot is the vessel of your mind; the water and boiling fire are the inner temperatures of feeling that reveal what you have imagined as real. The scum, the blood, the bones, these are the beliefs and habits you have placed on a pedestal, thinking they define you. As the Lord God declares, the purge must come and cannot be faked; the work begins when you refuse to cover over what you have tolerated in your psyche. In Neville's terms, God is I AM—the awareness that sees and reclaims every impression. When you imagine the fire purging the vessel, you are not punishing yourself but revising your inner state. You allow the heat to melt away the filth until what remains is a clear, empty vessel ready to be filled with truth. Your judgments about yourself dissolve as you own the power of imagination to create another, purer sense of life through I AM presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the inner pot now and revise a single belief you call scum. Feel the heat, declare I AM awareness purging it, and let a newer truth fill the vessel.
