Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 46:9-11 - 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.

10And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.

11And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.

Ezekiel 46:9-11

Biblical Context

During the solemn feasts, entrants move through opposite gates. The prince stands in the midst, and the offerings specify how energy is allocated.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Ezekiel’s gates are not thresholds but gates of the mind. The people move in and out according to the inner state they honor. Entering by one gate and leaving by the opposite is a reversal of belief, a turn of awareness that keeps the current life in the flow of your one life. The prince in the midst, standing within, is the I AM you are—unchanged by appearances, directing the procession of enterings and goings. When they feast, the offerings symbolize the energies you invest in your present conviction: an ephah of thought, an ephah of intention, with an hin of oil as feeling—measured and dedicated to the inner temple. This is the law of inner holiness: you do not serve God by external ritual, but by the constancy of awareness. Let the feast be a sign that you stand in the presence of God within; the outward act merely reflects the inner movement. Your kingdom is established not by gatekeeping but by the disciplined alignment of imagination and feeling in the I AM that you are.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume the stance of entering the inner temple by your chosen gate and exiting by the opposite; feel the I AM as the steady watcher, then act from that assured state.
