Ezekiel 46:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezekiel 46 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezekiel 46:1 speaks of the inner court gate facing the east being shut on the six working days and opened on the sabbath and on the new moon.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the east gate not as stone and timber, but as the orientation of your own mind toward the rising sun of awareness. Ezekiel tells us the gate of the inner court is shut during the six working days, and opened on Sabbath and new moon. In Neville’s terms, the gate is your state of consciousness—the inner doorway through which the I AM, your eternal Self, enters communion with God. The six days of labor are the busy chattering thoughts that keep the heart asleep to its own Presence. When you honor the Sabbath, or the felt renewal of a new moon, you pause the noise and allow the quiet, knowing I am, I can, I will, to come through. The gate opens not to external ritual, but to inner recognition: God is the I AM that you are aware of. When you refuse to entertain lack or separation, you feel the temple of your being become sacred space. The law and commandments become living order within your consciousness, guiding you back to presence.
Practice This Now
For a moment, assume the inner gate is open now. Rest in the I AM, feel the presence of God within, and know you are that gate.
