Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 46:12-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 46 in context

Scripture Focus

12Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.

14And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.

15Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.

Ezekiel 46:12-15

Biblical Context

The passage prescribes a rhythm of voluntary offerings by the prince, followed by daily burnt offerings and a continual meat offering. This is presented as a perpetual ordinance, signaling a constant worship rhythm in the inner temple.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner temple, the prince is the I AM—the you that never changes. When you decide to offer a voluntary sacrifice to the LORD within, the eastern gate of your awareness opens, and you may present the best version of yourself: a lamb without blemish, symbolizing a clean, desired state. The daily burnt offering and the meat offering stir your being with oil—the energy of awareness tempered by feeling. This ritual is not history but a method: it invites you to maintain a continual, habitual state of worship through stable assumption and feeling-you-are-that-awareness. Each morning, you reset with this new state, and after you pass through, you shut the gate behind you, signifying that you have moved from old consciousness into a renewed reality. The entire scene is a psychological drama in which you revise your inner atmosphere until it becomes your living experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the eastern gate opening before your I AM. See yourself presenting the flawless lamb of your awareness, anointed with oil, and feel the new state as if it already were real; carry that sensation into your day.
