Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 34:17-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 34 in context

Scripture Focus

17And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

18Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

19And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

21Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

22Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

Ezekiel 34:17-22

Biblical Context

God pronounces judgment between inner states, not people; the good pasture should be shared, not trampled. He promises to save the flock and restore order when you align your inner fields.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel, the flock is the stream of thoughts and feelings in your mind, and the cattle symbolize rival states of consciousness—abundance and scarcity—vying for dominance. When you allow fear or pride to trample the pasture, you muddy the streams of feeling and disrupt your inner balance. Yet the I AM within you declares, I will judge between the fat cattle and the lean, and I will save my flock. This is not punishment from outside, but a reclamation of inner order: the parts of you that have pushed others away, the diseased beliefs you’ve carried, are gently rearranged by awareness. As your consciousness acknowledges and separates these parts, harmony returns; provision is restored, and you are no longer prey to inner or outer storms. The true judge is your own awareness, and its verdict is renewal—your field becomes safe, and your life reflects that restored abundance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of the flock already fed and safe. Feel the certainty in your chest as you silently declare, 'I am the I AM; I save my flock now.'
