Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 30:21-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 30 in context

Scripture Focus

21Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.

22Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

25But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.

26And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 30:21-26

Biblical Context

God declares he will break Pharaoh's power, scatter Egypt, and empower Babylon. The result is the people learning that the Lord reigns.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh, in Ezekiel's vision, is a state of consciousness clinging to external power. His broken arm is the stubborn habit that resists healing by new awareness. The Lord's word I am against Pharaoh invites you to let that old self groan and fall, for the sword in Babylon's hand is the action of your own I AM, the power that can redirect energy. Babylon represents a higher order of mind now in control, not by violence, but by right imagination; the old arm must fail so a truer arm can rise. The dispersion of the Egyptians signals the loosening of old loyalties, placing you among the nations of your inner world until you awaken to the unity of God within. And they shall know that I am the LORD: this is the moment your inner witness recognizes itself as the governing power. Practice this: assume the feeling that you are the I AM, and imagine placing the sword of conviction in your own hand, and watch external circumstances align with the inner state of awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare, I am the I AM. Then imagine taking hold of the sword of clear intention in your hand and see old limiting energies collapse, while a new, unified life unfolds.
