Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 47:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 47 in context

Scripture Focus

1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

Ezekiel 47:1-2

Biblical Context

Waters issue from the temple's threshold and flow outward, symbolizing life arising from the inner sanctuary and renewing the whole field of experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s vision, the temple’s threshold is your own I AM—the center of awareness. The waters issuing from under the threshold eastward are the living currents of your imagination, streaming from the innermost sanctuary and traveling toward awakening and renewal. When you live as the I AM, the streams rise from the right side of your awareness and spill out along the path of your daily life. The gate turning northward and the eastward look symbolize a turning of attention toward the rising sun of consciousness, where what you imagine becomes your world. The river’s advance is not a banquet of facts but a movement of inner being: once you acknowledge life as consciousness, the water carries bondage, illness, or lack out of your system and leaves a fresh bank for creation. Thus, renewal comes as you align with the truth that life flows from within, not from external conditions. Your inner temple is the source; the outward world becomes the formed expression of that inward current.
