Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 46:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 46 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

Ezekiel 46:1-3

Biblical Context

The passage describes an eastern gate to the inner court that opens on sabbath and the new moon; the prince enters, offerings are made, and worship takes place at the gate's threshold, with the gate remaining open until evening, while the people worship at the gate's door.

Neville's Inner Vision

The gate is not a door of stone but a state of consciousness you must keep open when you honor the inner sabbath and the new moon of renewal. The six working days its gate is shut; the prince, the faithful, stands at the post, preparing and offering in the mind. You are the temple; the offerings are thoughts and feelings, becoming holy and aligned with the covenant of inner loyalty. The priests are your disciplined faculties, offering gratitude and harmony. At the threshold you worship—this is the moment your consciousness attunes to the Presence of God within. Then you go forth, keeping the gate open through the evening, sustaining a divine ruling in your day. It is covenant loyalty enacted in consciousness, not in time and space.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM now: see the eastern inner gate opening on your chosen sabbath or new moon, step through, offer your gratitude, and linger in the felt presence of God.
