Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 38:8-9 - 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.

9Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Ezekiel 38:8-9

Biblical Context

Long in coming, you will be visited; you enter a land reclaimed from war, gathered from many nations, and you will dwell safely. Then you will rise like a storm, a cloud covering the land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the heart's arena, Ezekiel's image is not about geography but state. The land that is brought back from the sword is your inner condition revived by a decided shift of attention. The gathering from many people mirrors the coming together of thoughts, feelings, and memories into a single, secure center. The mountains of Israel, long wast, become the place where your new ideas dwell safely because you have refused to give energy to fear. When the prophecy says 'thou shalt ascend and come like a storm,' I hear the affirmation of a strong, moving idea sweeping across the landscape of your mind; the cloud that covers the land is the visible effect of a unified consciousness rising. This is not a distant event; it is your inner renewal wrought by the I AM, by the recognition that imagination creates reality. The 'bands' and 'many people' with thee are the myriad aspects of yourself obedient to the new state, now aligned, now clear, now at rest.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: 'I AM in the land of safety now.' Feel the certainty spreading like a storm, and let the inner cloud settle as the new state takes root in you.
