Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 47:15-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 47 in context

Scripture Focus

15And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

18And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.

19And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

20The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

Ezekiel 47:15-20

Biblical Context

The text names the northern, eastern, southern, and western borders of the land, defining a complete boundary that marks a covenantal territory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take Ezekiel’s borders as your interior map. The land described north south east and west is the boundary of your present state of consciousness, drawn by what you accept as possible. The sea before you is not geography but the infinity of God, the I AM in you. The way of Hethlon and the borders near Damascus and Hamath are your habitual thoughts and feelings that guide you toward or away from your desired state. When you dwell in one assured feeling that you are already the Kingdom, you extend the border outward, making the entire territory your nature. Covenant loyalty is your fidelity to that arising state; Providence guides your movements as you hold the new image. The border from the great sea to the land marks the movement from raw potential to a defined life; the east side measured from Jordan represents linking your present I AM with every direction of life. The borders are not fetters but interior limits you may revise by the assumption I AM and by feeling it real until the borders yield to the majesty of your present Kingdom.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you already inhabit the Kingdom within. Feel the borders of your consciousness expanding as you affirm I AM the presence of God in me now.
