Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 41:16-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 41 in context

Scripture Focus

16The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

17To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

19So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

20From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

Ezekiel 41:16-20

Biblical Context

The passage describes a temple whose entrances, windows, and galleries encircle a holy space, adorned with cherubim and palm motifs, signaling God’s presence and the proper boundaries of worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Ezekiel’s temple is not a building of bricks first, but a map of your inner state. The door posts, the narrow windows, the three stories of galleries—these are the guiding structures of awareness, the boundaries by which you observe your thoughts. The wood around the walls and the coverings over the windows suggest disciplined attention: you choose what you let in and what you seal away, until the inner light shines freely. The cherubim and palm trees are not mere decoration; they symbolize your faculties in order—the two-faced cherubim reminding you that perception has more than one side, yet both faces turn toward the palm’s vitality, the palm tree standing between divinity and life. The man’s face toward the palm and the lion’s face toward the palm signal a balanced mind: intellect and courage aligned to growth. From the ground up to the door, the architecture proclaims that your holiness is built from the ground of your imagination upward. When you dwell there, the Presence—your I AM, the God within—is present in every room of your being, and true worship follows as alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: Close your eyes, assume you are inside the inner temple, and feel the I AM saturating every room. Hold the image, revise any sense of separation, and let worship rise as your awareness rests in presence.
