Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 31:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 31 in context

Scripture Focus

4The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

5Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

6All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

Ezekiel 31:4-6

Biblical Context

Ezekiel 31:4-6 depicts waters lifting a mighty tree, so its height, branches, and shelter extend over the land, with all creatures and nations finding shade under it.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theater of your mind, the waters are not distant rain but your own states of consciousness—the life-giving currents of imagination. The great tree stands as your I AM, your sovereign awareness set on high by the deep currents you allow beneath it. When you permit the rivers to circle around your plant—your purpose and identity—you nourish the roots so your height rises beyond former limits. As the branches lengthen through this multitude of waters, your thoughts extend, decisions gain shade, and fears find no resting place. The fowls of heaven and the beasts of the field are the energies and nations that respond to your inner state; they nest in your growing image because you have become the source of life from which all things draw. The Presence of God is not distant; it is the shadow your own awareness casts over your world, inviting circumstances to reflect your inner authority. Providence and guidance unfold as the natural alignment of ideas when you dwell in this conscious abundance, and your outer life becomes the visible sign of an inward dominion.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that your I AM is lifting you now; imagine waters circulating around your plant, and declare: 'I AM the life that makes me great,' resting in the sense of inner dominion.
