Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 38:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 38 in context

Scripture Focus

8After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Ezekiel 38:8

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a land long wasted being restored and populated from many nations. The return signals a shift of inner disposition toward safety and peace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagining Ezekiel's vision as your inner script, the 'land' is your own consciousness, long starved of certainty. 'After many days' signals the moment your attention is riveted by a new awareness; 'in the latter years' your present I AM asserts itself as the ruler of your inner country. The land that is 'brought back from the sword' represents thoughts healed of fear and conflict, gathered 'out of many people'—the diverse voices of memory, desire, and habit—into a single, peaceful center. The mountains of Israel, once waste, become the solid ground of faith in your own sovereignty. It is not a future army arriving; it is your inner resurrection: a people, within you, united and dwelling safely under the one king, the I AM. In Neville's language, this is imagination materializing as reality whenever you accept and feel the truth now. The decree of safety comes not from outside events, but from the inward assumption that you are already the land and the dwellers therein, living in harmony with the whole.
