Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 30:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 30 in context

Scripture Focus

8And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

9In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

Ezekiel 30:8-9

Biblical Context

The LORD declares that He will reveal Himself by purging the mind's Egypt and destroying its helpers. A day of messenger-visions comes to awaken the inner soul.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel's lines you witness your own inner geography. Egypt is the bondage of a mind convinced by appearances. The fire God sets is not punishment but a purification of such belief; it burns away every image that binds you to limitation. When I, as the LORD in me, awaken, I know that these external terrors are but messages of release, proving that I am the LORD of my consciousness. The 'helpers' of Egypt—old habits, fears, and identifications—are dissolved and become no more than memories dissolving in light. The 'messengers' going forth in ships are the sentinels of awareness moving through your dream to wake the careless Ethiopians—those careless, habitual thoughts that have drifted into sleep. In that day comes pain, but pain in Neville is the sign of transformation; it is the shedding of the old skin and the arrival of a new state of consciousness. Stay with the feeling of being the I AM, and allow the inner plan to unfold, for God is the I that you are, not something outside you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, imagine a warm inner fire clearing your mind of old images. Silently affirm, 'I am the LORD of my consciousness,' and feel the transformation as the old self dissolves into light.
