Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 3:18-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

18When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ezekiel 3:18-19

Biblical Context

The passage teaches that warning the wicked inner state is essential: if the belief does not turn, the consequence remains with it, yet you have delivered your soul by speaking. If you fail to warn, you bear responsibility for not acting.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 3:18-19 speaks to the inner realm: the wicked are thoughts that would kill your life unless you warn them and turn them toward life. In the Neville Goddard lens, this is a parable of states of consciousness. The 'I' is not a judge over others but the awareness that can decide which state rules you. When you warn the wicked you do not threaten an external person; you acknowledge the belief and refuse to grant it power. Even if the belief does not turn, you have saved your soul by keeping your attention aligned with the truth of I AM, the inner governor. If you fail to warn, you pretend the belief is sovereign and you contract your life to its outcome. The call is to be uncompromising with fear and limitation, not to punish but to reassert your dominion. The moment you speak to the inner wicked form, you are delivering your soul by choosing a higher identity. The mechanism is imaginative: you rise from reaction to assumption, and the imagined result becomes present as your next state of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume you have warned the inner wicked thought and that its hold dissolves. Revise your state to I AM, feel it real, and let that higher vision govern your life.
