Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 28:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 28 in context

Scripture Focus

9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 28:9-10

Biblical Context

The verses confront the boastful claim to godhood, stating that the speaker is merely a man who will die. Mortality exposes the illusion of divinity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the tomb of the ego. In this moment, the 'I am God' whisper is not the I AM but the masquerade of the self that forgets its source. Ezekiel's decree that you shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers is the inner correction that life administers to any belief that separation is real. In Neville's light, all such claim is a misidentification: God is the I AM within, and the idea of 'God' as a separate ruler is a counterfeit ego-state. When you sense the inner authority as provisional, you invite the life-energy to rearrange your consciousness. The 'hand of him that slayeth thee' is the experiential pressure that reveals the falsity of the old self and makes room for the true Self to emerge. The punitive language becomes a mercy: it shows the ego's boundary and calls you to rest in the I AM, not in personality-claims.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and say, 'I am the I AM; the ego's claim to godhood dissolves into awareness.' Then visualize the old self dissolving as a bright light replaces the throne of the ego.
