Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 37:1-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 37 in context

Scripture Focus

1The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Ezekiel 37:1-10

Biblical Context

Ez 37:1-10 shows a valley of dry bones receiving life through breath after a commanded prophesy. The question can these bones live invites a shift in awareness toward inner revival.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the bones as states of your own consciousness—dead thoughts, forgotten longings, the dry places of attention. The hand of the LORD is your awareness, lifting you in spirit to pass among the field of inner possibility. When the Lord asks can these bones live, He is inviting you to entertain a new state of being, not seek something outside but revise your inner weather. Prophesy upon these bones and say hear the word of the LORD; speak the word as if it is true now. As you prophesy, there comes a noise, a shaking, and the bones come together bone to bone. Yet life asks for breath; the sinews and flesh rise, but breath must enter. Prophesy unto the wind, come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain that they may live. Then the breath enters and they live and stand, a great army. This is you waking to the I AM within, perceiving that the outer form follows your inner declaration. The vision reveals the power of your present consciousness to create revival.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the end you desire—watch the bones gather, sinews form, and breath fill the bodies. Then rest in the felt reality that I AM alive in this inner vision.
