Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 47:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 47 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

Ezekiel 47:2-3

Biblical Context

The vision presents a river flowing east from a gate, with a guide leading the seer into ankle-deep waters, symbolizing an initial entry into a deeper inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s view, this scene is a vivid allegory of consciousness. The eastward flow represents the mind turning toward the sun of its I AM, the awareness that creates reality. The man with the line is your inner guide, marking out steps of belief and directing your attention into a wider field of being. When Ezekiel is brought through the waters to ankle depth, he is entering not a distant world, but a present inner reality you can inhabit now—you are choosing to trust your inner sight over outer appearances. The waters symbolize states of consciousness that you may initially test at the ankles, gradually allowing the current to rise as your faith and imagination grow. Healing, renewal, and new creation begin not in external conditions but in your willingness to dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, fabricating the world you experience through sustained inner attention and feeling. Persist, and the river moves you deeper into a life that mirrors your inner truth.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly and imagine standing in ankle-deep waters that flow east. Quietly affirm, I am the I AM, and this healing is mine now; then revise to deeper water and feel the next layer of realization as real.
