Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 31:12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 31 in context

Scripture Focus

12And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

Ezekiel 31:12

Biblical Context

The verse describes a mighty tree cut off by strangers, its branches broken and its shadow abandoned by the earth. It speaks of abandonment and the feeling of loss.

Neville's Inner Vision

View Ezekiel’s image as your inner kingdom. The strong tree on the mountains stands for your awareness when it is whole; the strangers who cut it off symbolize beliefs that make you doubt your wholeness. When the branches fall and the rivers of life break them, you are not being punished but identified with lack, forgetting that life flows from the I AM within. The people of the earth leaving the shadow reveals a temporary fixation on appearances rather than the reality of your true being. Your work is not to mend the world outside but to return inside and claim the state you desire as already real. Assume the feeling that the kingdom is intact, that the I AM is your sole power and protection, and let imagination re-create the tree—lush, rooted, and secure regardless of outward appearances. In that shift, exile dissolves and wholeness becomes your natural condition within.
