Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 43:19-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 43 in context

Scripture Focus

19And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.

20And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

21Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

Ezekiel 43:19-21

Biblical Context

The passage prescribes a sin offering by the Zadokite priests: a young bull is offered, its blood is placed on the four horns and the border to cleanse. The bull is then burned outside the sanctuary.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this passage becomes a map of inner cleansing. The bullock stands for your living energy—the vivid charge of desire you bring into each moment. Placing the blood on the four horns and the border speaks to setting guards on the four corners of your attention: habits, fears, judgments, and identities. Through this conscious marking, the mind is cleansed and purged, returning to its purpose as a temple of God within. The sanctuary represents your current awareness; burning the bullock outside the sanctuary signifies releasing what is not aligned with this inner holiness beyond the felt temple of self. Forgiveness and reconciliation arise as you witness the old pattern for what it is and allow it to fall away, not as punishment, but as a shifting of perception back to the one I AM. Purity and separation then become a simple reorientation of attention toward inner holiness, where every thought is made holy by awareness and intent.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and embody the inner priest; visualize your life-energy as a bull. See awareness flowing to the four corners and border of your mind, cleansing thoughts; declare, I am pure awareness and release the old belief outside the sanctuary.
