Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 32:17-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 32 in context

Scripture Focus

17It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

18Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.

19Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.

20They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.

21The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

22Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:

23Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.

24There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.

25They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.

26There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

27And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 32:17-27

Biblical Context

God commands Ezekiel to mourn for Egypt and cast her and the nations down into the pit. The passage portrays the fall of mighty powers and their graves as a stark warning to the living.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Egypt as a stubborn state of consciousness clinging to surface beauty and control. The wail is my inner voice when a fixed identity begins to crumble. The pit and the graves are not places for my body but the deep places of belief where the sense of separation dies. The daughters of the famous nations are the borrowed identities I wore to feel secure; when I turn within, they are drawn down into the subconscious, and their swords are laid beneath my head as I surrender their power. The uncircumcised marks call me to covenant with the I AM—the awareness that sustains me above the dream of death. As I witness Asshur and Elam in their graves, I perceive the death of every miscreated power in my life. The purpose is the conversion of fear into awareness; through inner witnessing, I refuse to lie with dead identities and awaken to the living presence of God within me.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I am the I AM; Egypt is behind me, and I stand in a new state of awareness. Feel the release as old fears sink away and linger in that living presence.
