Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 3:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

4And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

5For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

6Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

Ezekiel 3:4-6

Biblical Context

God commands Ezekiel to go to the house of Israel and speak his words. He notes that Israel is the audience, not a distant nation, and suggests they would listen if sent to them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every man there is a house of Israel—the inner covenant of belief and expectation. When the command comes, 'Son of Man, go to the house of Israel,' it is your awareness answering itself. God is the I AM speaking through your imagination; you are not sent to a strange crowd but to your own familiar language of thought. The barrier is not language but belief that you are not understood. If the inner listener were elsewhere, you would hear nothing; but the truth is that the inner audience would have hearkened to you because you speak from the state that already knows the answer. Therefore, rather than trying to convince, assume you are already heard. Speak Your words to the inner Israel and feel them echoed back as reality. The mission is obedience to consciousness; faithfulness means staying with the assumption that your word has been spoken and is now manifested.

Practice This Now

Assume for a moment that the inner house of Israel is listening; imagine speaking God's words to them and feel their response as real. Then revise any doubt by repeating the assumption until it feels true.
