Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 30:22-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 30 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Ezekiel 30:22-25

Biblical Context

God declares He is against Pharaoh, will break his arms, scatter Egypt, and empower Babylon; the outcome is that all shall know that the LORD is the I AM. The message is a shift in inner power, not a geographical clash.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Ezekiel passage you read the inner drama of power shifting within the mind. Pharaoh stands for an old, rigid state of consciousness—fearful, resistant, insisting on personal strength apart from the I AM. Babylon represents a higher ordering of consciousness, a ruler of inward vision that can wield truth when the old self yields. The breaking of Pharaoh’s arms is the breakdown of limited beliefs that kept you captive to past scripts; the sword falling from his hand marks the release of those harmful imaginings. When I say 'I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon,' I am pointing to the inner ally that appears when you align with the I AM and persist in imagining the end you desire. The loud groans of the wounded man are the old hurts your mind keeps re-living until they dissolve. Ultimately, the arms of Pharaoh fall and those arms of Babylon are strengthened, so that the mind experiences the truth: the LORD is I AM, and through that awareness the world bends to your assumption. Your task is to practice dwelling as the king of Babylon in your daily life, until the vision feels real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, breathe, and revise your scene until you feel it real: imagine yourself as the Babylonian ruler of your mind, while the old Pharaoh fades; then declare I AM, and let that awareness animate your next moment.
