Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 36:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 36 in context

Scripture Focus

4Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

5Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

Ezekiel 36:4-5

Biblical Context

God speaks to Israel’s lands and mounts, declaring judgment on those who would possess what is not theirs and promising a purifying act. The message invites inner cleansing and reclamation of spiritual territory.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the mountains of Israel are states of consciousness you carry within the I AM. The 'residue of the heathen' are persistent beliefs and habits that have claimed mental territory, while the 'fire of my jealousy' is the fiery motive of your divine nature to purify and restore alignment. When you hear the word of the Lord God, you are invited to claim your inner land; ownership comes from your alignment with the I AM, not from external powers. You revise the sense that hostile forces control you and feel the power to cast out intruding thoughts as you would cast out a trespasser. Resting in the awareness of I AM, the land becomes peaceful and the mountains respond to your decree. The appearances of invasion dissolve as your inner state asserts rightful sovereignty over your mental landscape.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place attention on your inner land, and declare: 'I AM the Lord God of this inner land; no external claim holds sway here.' Feel the shift as invasive thoughts retreat and the mountains settle.
