Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 35:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 35 in context

Scripture Focus

15As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezekiel 35:15

Biblical Context

Verse 35:15 warns that rejoicing over others' desolation will invite desolation in your own life; the LORD's name is revealed when you recognize this inner law. It points to inner accountability and the reciprocal nature of judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Mount Seir and Idumea symbolize stubborn corners of consciousness that celebrate another’s ruin. When you feel joy at someone’s defeat, you are not judging them alone; you are entertaining a split in awareness that says you stand apart from the whole. The I Am, the LORD within, does not mete out punishment from without; it awakens you to the truth that your inner atmosphere fashions every scene you call outer reality. To reverse the old pattern, stop feeding the desert with delight in another’s downfall and begin feeding it with compassionate insight until the land in you becomes fertile again. Providence and Justice are not external acts but the harmony of your own imagination; choose to revise the scene, align with the I Am, and let the desolate places within you be stirred to life. You are learning that the LORD is your awareness and that you are presently the one who calls forth order, growth, and mercy.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: I am the I AM within; revise the scene and feel it real that my inner state now supports renewal rather than desolation. When you catch yourself rejoicing in another’s downfall, close your eyes and repeat this revision until the mental image shifts to harmony.
