Inner City: The LORD Is There

Ezekiel 48:30-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 48 in context

Scripture Focus

30And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
Ezekiel 48:30-35

Biblical Context

The verses lay out the city's gates by tribal names and its surrounding measurements, signaling a structured, sacred place. It signals that true order and protection come from God dwelling with and within us.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Ezekiel's city as a map of your inner life. The four quarters—north, east, south, and west—mark the four zones of consciousness, while the gates bearing tribes signal the qualities you invite into your world: courage, fidelity, service, and perception, among others. The order and the exact measures are not external geometry but a reflection of balance in your thoughts and feelings. When you read The LORD is There as the city’s name, you are invited to recognize that God dwells within your own awareness as the I AM. This is not a distant prophecy but a present reality you can inhabit by assumption: you are the architect, the builder, and the resident of the sacred city. As you dwell in this awareness, your circumstances align to confirm the inner order you have embraced. Prophecy and promise unfold as a natural outgrowth of living from the conviction that the divine presence is always already here, in the center of your mind, shaping your world from within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes and walk the imagined streets, choosing a gate for a desired quality, and feel the presence as if it is already real; dwell there for a minute and carry that feeling back into your day.
