Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 41:25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 41 in context

Scripture Focus

25And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

Ezekiel 41:25

Biblical Context

Temple doors mirror the wall’s cherubim and palm-tree motif, with thick planks on the porch signaling a sacred boundary for true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Interpret Ezekiel’s doors as the innermost doorway of your being. The cherubim and palm trees that appear on the doors are not external ornaments but signs of a mind trained to holiness; they announce states of beauty, guardianship, and fruitfulness within your own imagination. The matching motif on walls suggests consistency in the inner world: what you imagine about worship, you inhabit. The thick planks on the outward porch are not wood but deliberate formations of attention—barriers you erect to keep fear, noise, and doubt from crossing into the sanctuary of I AM. When you stand in imagination and declare, I am within this temple, those outer planks soften into gateposts, and the inner space expands. The Presence of God who was said to dwell there is your own awareness, your indwelling I AM, always present when you close the door on lack and open it to fullness. The picture teaches that true worship is a disciplined, loving assumption that you are already in the sanctuary, not seeking it outside.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes, picture the temple door, see cherubim and palms, then declare, 'I am within; Presence now.' Feel the sense of protection and sacredness as if already so.
