Inner Sanctuary Cleansing Ritual

Ezekiel 45:18-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 45 in context

Scripture Focus

18Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
21In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
23And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
24And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
25In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
Ezekiel 45:18-25

Biblical Context

Ezekiel describes cleansing the sanctuary with a blemish-free bullock and the priest applying blood for atonement. It also outlines the Passover and a week of offerings.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the sanctuary is not a stone, but a field of awareness. When Ezekiel speaks of cleansing on the first day, He invites you to begin a new inner year by purifying thoughts, beliefs, and intentions. The bullock without blemish stands for your decision to inhabit a faultless state of consciousness; the blood upon the posts and corners marks the alignment of attention with that standard, sealing your inner doors against drift. To do this, you acknowledge every error and reconcile the house by steady revision of what you hold as true. The Passover becomes an inner crossing: you abandon fear and limitation and enter a realized sense of freedom. The prince—your higher self—prepares offerings for the land: sin offerings, burnt offerings, and meat offerings—imagined acts that supply energy to the I AM you are becoming. The seven-day feast and the later seventh-month observances echo a daily discipline: consistent focus, gratitude, and proportional sacrifice of misbelief. By honoring this inner calendar with intent, you awaken the sanctuary into its native light.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: close your eyes, enter the inner sanctuary, and choose a blemish-free state of awareness as your bullock. Visualize applying a steady 'blood' of forgiveness to the posts of your beliefs, declare 'I AM' as the cleansed reality, and feel the space brightening with liberty.
