Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 46:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 46 in context

Scripture Focus

9But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.

Ezekiel 46:9

Biblical Context

The verse describes a ritual rule: those entering the LORD'S solemn feasts by the north gate must exit by the south gate, and those entering by the south gate must exit by the north; you are not to return by the gate you came in.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Ezekiel speaks of gates as inner doors. When you enter by the north gate to worship, you are choosing a state of awareness—steadfast, reverent, attentive. To go out by the south gate is to carry that same moment of worship into action, to translate inner devotion into outer obedience. The rule that you shall not return by the gate you came in is instruction to not replay the same mental pattern; rather, let the movement of consciousness arc across the inner temple, leaving the old gate behind and stepping into a renewed circumference of life. In Neville’s terms, the land is your mind, the solemn feasts are moments of alignment with the I AM, and God is awareness itself. The practice invites you to imagine you are already there: you enter as the I AM at worship and depart as the I AM in service, perpetually circling but always advancing, each circuit refining holiness, presence, and obedience. So, do not seek confirmation outside; assume the state and let the world reflect that inner reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you are entering by the north gate of worship and exiting by the south gate into daily action. For five minutes, feel the I AM present and revise one planned act to express that inner worship.
