Read Ezekiel 48 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
Ezekiel 48:31-34

Biblical Context

Ez 48:31-34 places gates named for the tribes around the city, on north, east, south, and west. The arrangement signals an inner order of loyalty and unity within a covenant community.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the gates are not walls of stone but stations within your own consciousness. The city you behold is the I AM—your awareness that never fades. Each gate, named by a tribe, marks a movement of life—attention, affection, duty, joy, discipline, gratitude—flowing in from the four directions. When you understand that these gates exist in you, you begin to see that the outer city can only be as orderly as your inner commitments. The sequence north, east, south, west shows there is a complete field of possibility when every facet of self is acknowledged and given place. By the act of imagining these gates, you consent to the unity of your being, to the Covenant of your own I AM. This inner unity is what Ezekiel calls the Kingdom of God: not a distant place, but a state of alignment in which every part of you serves the whole.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, visualize the city gates named for the tribes, and step inside. Choose one gate, feel the I AM presence, revise any doubt, and declare, 'I am inside the Kingdom within'—let the other gates align in harmony.
