Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 40:38-41 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 40 in context

Scripture Focus

38And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

39And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

40And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.

41Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.

Ezekiel 40:38-41

Biblical Context

The passage describes eight tables at the gate for offerings, with chambers for washing, signaling a disciplined, holy worship that centers on purity and separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Ezekiel vision, the walls and posts are not mere stone but boundaries of your attention. The eight tables mark eight moments of choice in the mind where you slay old patterns and offer them to the light. Washing at the posts symbolizes continual cleansing of perception, identity, and motive, not ritual debris. The gate is your entry into a higher consciousness; the chambers are inner sanctuaries where true worship arises when desire is aligned with the divine. The burnt, sin, and trespass offerings represent attachments you release through imagination, each table a practice of release, revision, and sanctification. When you stand as priest in this space and imagine, you discover the temple is within you, and the purity you seek already exists as I AM. Outer order mirrors inner coherence, and life will rearrange to reflect that alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively walk the gate of your awareness, washing at the posts, then place eight offerings on the inner tables—each table a choice to release a habit or belief. As you slay the old pattern, declare, I AM that I AM, and let the temple of your mind be purified and aligned with divine order.
