Ezekiel 40:3

Biblical Context

The seer is brought to a gate where a man, brass in appearance, stands holding a flax line and a measuring reed. This figure serves as a guardian at the threshold of Ezekiel’s vision.

Neville's Inner Vision

That brass-haired man at the gate is your I AM, the unshakable awareness by which all events are measured in your mind. The line of flax and the measuring reed are tools of imagination: flax threads bind your images to a form, while the reed is the standard by which you judge what you accept as real. When you assume that you stand already within the inner kingdom, the gate ceases to be a barrier and becomes a doorway of true worship. You are not waiting for God to come; you are the I AM filling the gate with consciousness, choosing what to count as real by the direction of your awareness. The scene points to a kingdom not made by hands but by the alignment of your inner states: presence, promise, and the measurement of your thoughts with faith. As you dwell in that conviction, the field of your life answers from within, and Ezekiel’s gate is opened by your persistent, inner yes.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, imagine the brass figure standing at your inner gate and declare, 'I am the gatekeeper of my consciousness.' Revise any lack as already resolved and feel the line and reed establishing your inner measurements as true.
