Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 29:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 29 in context

Scripture Focus

12And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

13Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:

Ezekiel 29:12-13

Biblical Context

Egypt represents a desolate inner land and dispersed faculties among the nations for forty years; at the end, they will be gathered back.

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt in Ezekiel is not a mere land; it is a state of consciousness—dense, fear-bound, and habit-laden. The desolation and dispersion among the nations symbolize a mind scattered by worry, desire, and doubt, wandering away from its center. Forty years marks a season of maturation; outer conditions echo inner separation long enough for the self to turn inward and remember who it is. When the text says, I will scatter the Egyptians and later gather them, hear the I AM speaking to your awareness: I scatter you so you may learn to return to unity. Your true land is not the ruin of yesterday’s fears but the living presence you now acknowledge. When you assume the end—being gathered, restored, whole—you become the gatherer of your own inner country. The desolation dissolves as your attention rests in the I AM, and the dispersed thoughts are drawn back to a single, radiant center. Remember, the change is inner; you rearrange your outward world by reordering your inner state.
