Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 36:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 36 in context

Scripture Focus

2Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

3Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

Ezekiel 36:2-3

Biblical Context

The passage records the enemy's boast that the ancient high places are theirs, leaving the land desolate. The people are spoken of as the infamy of the nations.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the enemy's taunt is not about geography, but a voice within that claims possession of your sacred spaces. The high places are your highest beliefs, your most cherished identifications—your states of consciousness—now seen as being in someone else’s hands. The desolation described is not external ruin but the quiet result of identifying with a lack state. When you listen to the crowd's talk, you are tempted to concede that you are a mere possession among the residue of nations, forgetting that you are the I AM, the awareness that makes all things. Ezekiel's instruction to prophesy is your instruction to revise. Speak now from the I AM: thus saith the Lord GOD within you, declare restoration, and disown the image of exile as the rule of your life. The pressure to be judged dissolves as you realize your inner land is not at the mercy of the talk of others but under your own command. The moment you assume the new state, the desolate places become fertile once more, and you are the witness and the governor of your own kingdom.
