Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 41:19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 41 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Ezekiel 41:19

Biblical Context

Ez 41:19 shows a temple perimeter staffed by cherubim with a man's face on one side and a lion's face on the other, each looking toward palm trees around the room. This image marks the temple as a complete inner boundary where holiness and presence reside.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the house Ezekiel saw is the arena of consciousness; God is not distant, but the I AM that notices. The man-faced cherubim and the lion-faced cherubim are two energies of awareness—mind and fearless spirit—moving around the temple's circumference. The palm trees symbolize life, growth, and supply that the aware I AM keeps in view. When you entertain these two faces around your inner temple, you enact a harmony of gentleness and power that guards your sacred space. This is worship as inner alignment: you revise any sense of separation by insisting that both faculties are yours, already present by the I AM. In feeling it real, you walk in the certainty that the temple is complete when you hold together imagination (the thoughtful man) and resolution (the lion) under the same awareness. Try imagining them circling your mind, each fulfilling its role, until the entire house hums with the awareness that God dwells there as you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm 'I am the I AM.' Visualize two faces circling your inner temple—the man toward life, the lion toward strength—moving around every room; feel this perimeter as the living presence that sustains you.
