No More Pricking Briers: Inner Israel
Ezekiel 28:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Israel will experience an end to prickling thorns and grieving oppression from around them. They will come to know that I am the Lord GOD.
Neville's Inner Vision
View Ezekiel 28:24 as a whisper to your inner weather: the pricking brier and the grieving thorn are not distant enemies but states of consciousness you have fed. Israel stands for your essential I AM, the steady awareness that you are God in expression. When fear, lack, or attack seems to circle you, remember that you are no longer bound to them by truth, only by attention. The prophecy marks a turning: as you awaken to I AM as Lord GOD within, you stop nourishing the thorn. The outer conditions lose their sting because the inner recognition becomes the dominant climate. In that moment you know in the immediacy of experience that I AM is present, here, now, within every cell and breath. The old oppression dissolves into a new creation—an inner Israel of peace, trust, and clear presence of God. What was once external pressure becomes a translation of your own inner state. The promised knowledge is not about changing others, but about awakening to your own divine I AM so completely that the thorn is no longer believed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat I AM the Lord GOD as your present awareness; feel the prickly thoughts dissolve and envision the inner Israel blooming in light.
