Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 34:11-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 34 in context

Scripture Focus

11For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

12As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 34:11-15

Biblical Context

God promises to search for His scattered flock, gather them from every place, and feed them in a good pasture, bringing rest to their lives.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Ezekiel, the Lord proclaims that He searches and gathers His sheep. In the Neville lens, this is not a distant event but a statement about your own state of consciousness. The 'sheep' are your thoughts, habits, and fears scattered in the cloudy day of doubt. The 'search' is awareness turning within, locating every part of you and returning them to a single field of attention. When you affirm that you are gathered to your own land, you align with the I AM that feeds you. The promise of a good pasture, a fat pasture, a resting fold, is an image of a conscious condition where you lie down in peace, free from weariness and fragmentation. Your inner shepherd does not go out to compel; it compels only by the power of attention. As you dwell on this image, you experience a restoration: you are no longer scattered but integrated, fed by rivers of awareness, standing on the mountains of your own being. The day becomes cloudy and dark not as fate but as the last illusion that slowly dissolves in your conscious certainty.
