Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 33:24-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 33 in context

Scripture Focus

24Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.

25Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

26Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?

27Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

28For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

29Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

Ezekiel 33:24-29

Biblical Context

The passage rebukes those who claim the land by memory of Abraham while living in corruption. Judgment will come and the land will become desolate, leading them to know the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet I tilt my attention inward: the wastes of the land are the desolate states of consciousness where an old self clings to ancestral claims while defiling the present. Abraham’s name becomes a memory I use to justify possession, yet true inheritance belongs to the I AM that animates now. If I stand in those wastes, I see the old structures—the sword of pride, the idols, the defiled deeds—falling away as a new perception rises. The Lord’s declaration that the land shall be laid desolate is an inward clearing, not punishment but a thinning of illusion so that the I AM can be known again. When these abominations are removed, the mountains of fear dissolve and I perceive that I am, and always have been, the LORD within me. This is the awakening: your interior land becomes holy when you stop trying to own it with the past and begin owning it with the present I AM.
