Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 35:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 35 in context

Scripture Focus

5Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

Ezekiel 35:5

Biblical Context

Ez 35:5 speaks of perpetual hatred that sheds blood in Israel's calamity, at the moment their iniquity ends. It condemns the violence born of fixed hostility and the demand for perpetual punishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard mood, the you of Ezekiel is your own state of consciousness. Perpetual hatred is not a person but a stubborn attitude—an inner verdict that refuses to see the good in your own life or in the life of others. The 'blood' shed by the sword is the life-force drained by violent thoughts, forced outcomes, and the insistence that calamity must be dealt with through domination. When the calamity is upon you, the mind declares an end to your old pattern only by clinging to the same old grievance. But the line 'in the time that their iniquity had an end' reveals a turning point: a shift of state is possible, where the old harsh judgment ends and a new awareness begins. You, as the I AM, may choose to revise the entire scene by assuming a higher, merciful consciousness that allows healing to happen now. The reality you see is the result of what you quietly assume and feel as real.
